Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are among the most serious types of personal injuries, often resulting from car accidents, falls, assaults, or other traumatic incidents. TBIs can lead to long-term physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges, affecting your ability to work, care for yourself, and enjoy life. If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury in Daly City, Bay Area Legal Ally is here to provide experienced legal representation and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries
A traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force causes the brain to move or collide with the skull, damaging brain tissue. The severity of TBIs can range from mild concussions to severe, life-altering injuries. Common causes include:
- Motor vehicle collisions including car, truck, motorcycle, or rideshare accidents
- Slip and fall accidents or premises liability incidents
- Assaults or violent attacks
- Sports or recreational injuries
- Workplace accidents
Symptoms of TBIs can vary depending on the severity and may include headaches, memory loss, confusion, dizziness, impaired coordination, mood changes, or loss of consciousness. Long-term effects can include cognitive impairments, personality changes, and permanent disability.
