The Cause of Brain Injuries


They may be caused by:

  • Medical Errors
  • Motor Vehicle Accidents
  • Pedestrian Accidents
  • Something Heavy Falling On The Head From a Height
  • Simple Slip And Falls Anywhere
  • Assault With a Sharp Or Heavy Weapon On The Head

Brain Injuries Might Be Caused By Negligence


Brain injuries are routinely caused by accidents due to the negligent or careless behavior of another person. This could occur on our highways where motorists are not paying attention to the road rules including: speeding restrictions, running a red light, and driving carelessly under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Employer negligence is often a cause of workplace accidents; for example, a slippery substance spilled on a workshop floor has not been removed by the time workers start making their way through the area to go home. A slip and fall could cause a serious brain injury if the head is not protected in time. The employer may have been fully aware of the hazard, but did nothing about it. In this situation, a victim who sustained a brain injury has every right to put in a damages claim from the employer.

The Financial Burden Of a Brain Injury


The expenses accumulated as a result of a brain injury can be very high. Initial medical requirements may amount to tens of thousands of dollars every day following the injury, and long periods in hospital for rehabilitation are certainly not unusual. If the brain injury is very severe the victim could be disabled for the rest of their life. This not only means adding up the cost of additional care requirements but also the emotional deprivation that has occurred as a result of the brain injury.

The drastic reduction in the quality of life for all concerned can be life changing and ruin the enjoyment of life for both the victim and family members.

Finding Someone At Fault For a Brain Injury


Loss of earning potential is only the start when it comes to the true effect of a brain injury. Houses and apartments might need adaptations so that they can be more easily occupied by someone with a brain injury. In spite of the clear costs of financing a brain injury victim, it is not always that easy to win appropriate compensation for this type of long-term damage. Unfortunately, guilty parties are rarely willing to admit guilt and they are even less willing to pay any cash compensation to a victim of their negligence.

Often, the cause and the fault in any type of accident can be hard to prove and those people who are really responsible for the accident will try and ensure they are not found guilty.

Types of injuries & fractures, our Law Offices of Jon Friedman focus on include:
