Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is any brain injury acquired after a person is born as a result of trauma.

There are several different types of TBIs, but all can be categorized as one of the following:

Open-Head Injury: An open-head TBI is one in which there is physical damage to the head, including the skull, resulting in an open wound.
Closed-Head Injury: A closed-head TBI occurs when the brain sustains damage without any physical damage to the head/skull.

While both open-head and closed-head TBIs are considered medical emergencies, closed-head injuries can often be more dangerous, as victims may not realize they have sustained a brain injury. Early treatment is key for TBIs; if you suspect that you or someone else may have suffered a head or brain injury, seek immediate medical attention.

Common Causes of TBIs

As previously mentioned, traumatic brain injuries are the result of disastrous events.

Some of the most common causes of TBIs include:

Car, motorcycle, truck, and other motor vehicle accidents
Drunk driving and distracted driving accidents
Collisions between vehicles and pedestrians/bicyclists
Serious falls, including slip and falls
Assaults, shootings, and other acts of violence
Sports- and recreation-related accidents

When someone else causes an accident or intentionally inflicts harm on another person, the injured victim has the right to take legal action. At the Law Office of J.J. Talbott, we help individuals who have suffered life-altering TBIs fight to hold the liable parties accountable. Our Pensacola TBI attorneys have extensive experience and have recovered more than $100 million in compensation for their clients.

Who Is Responsible for a Traumatic Brain Injury?

If you or your loved one suffered a traumatic brain injury because of someone else’s careless, reckless, or wrongful behavior, you may be able to hold them legally responsible.

To determine who is liable for your damages, our attorneys review the following:

How the injury occurred and what factors were involved
Whether another person or party owed you a duty of care
Whether the other party violated that duty of care by acting negligently or wrongfully
Who caused the accident or event that led to the injury
Whether any third party indirectly caused the accident or event that resulted in injury

For example, if you suffered a concussion after slipping and falling on a wet floor in a grocery store, our team will investigate the incident to determine whether the owner or manager of the store knew about the dangerous condition, took the necessary steps to rectify or warn others about the dangerous condition, or failed in this duty of care. If no attempt was made to clean up the spill, and there was no “wet floor” sign or other signage warning customers of the danger, you could have a claim against the grocery store owner or manager.

At the Law Office of J.J. Talbott, we carefully evaluate all possible avenues of recovery on behalf of our clients. Our legal team leaves no stone unturned in the pursuit of maximum compensation. Our goal is to help you recover every penny you are owed so that you can get the necessary medical care you need, manage unexpected expenses associated with your injury, and begin to heal.

J.J. and his staff have been wonderful assisting both myself and friends in a balcony collapse. We could not have made it through this process without them and I highly recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance. They explained every step of the process as we went through it and they definitely had our best interest at heart.

The Law Office of J.J. Talbott and his assistant Holly were very good at working my case to get me the maximum amount of money that I was entitled to. J.J. always personally returned phone calls and explained to me in detail what we were doing along the way. Thank you so much for everything!

What Types of Damages Can Be Recovered After a TBI?

Many traumatic brain injuries require extensive medical treatment and ongoing rehabilitative care. Victims may suffer long-term or even permanent effects, such as chronic headaches, seizures, changes in vision, loss of coordination, mood swings, fatigue, paralysis, and diminished cognitive function. Such effects may prevent the individual from returning to work or obtaining any form of gainful employment after the injury. This can lead to significant financial hardship and a host of psychological and emotional effects, such as sleep disturbances and depression.

At the Law Office of J.J. Talbott, we believe that people who have suffered severe injuries due to the negligence and recklessness of others should not have to simply suffer the consequences of those injuries on their own.

Our Pensacola traumatic brain injury lawyers are committed to helping clients fight for fair compensation for their damages, including but not limited to:

Medical expenses
Ongoing and future medical care
Rehabilitation
Cognitive/physical therapy
Counseling
Medications
Medical equipment/devices
Lost income or wages
Loss of earning ability
Loss of future income and employment benefits
Physical and mental pain and suffering
Emotional distress and anguish
Diminished enjoyment/quality of life
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, etc.
Costs associated with in-home assistance and care

In some cases, we can even seek punitive damages. Unlike compensatory damages, which are awarded to compensate the victim for specific losses, punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant for gross negligence, egregious misconduct, or intentional infliction of injury.
