Frequently brain injuries happen during an SUV rollover incident. Such cars are designed in such a manner that they often roll over or tip, and such incidents are made more damaging because SUVs often have "roof crush," meaning the top caves in on passengers as the vehicle rolls over. In such instances, brain injuries are unfortunately frequent. Such injuries can be debilitating if not fatal, and they are caused mostly by the failure of the manufacturer, which was aware of design flaws yet kept selling such defective automobiles. A knowledgable Alabama brain injury lawyer can hold auto companies accountable for such negligence and fight for justice for you and your loved ones.

TBI, or traumatic brain injury, can happen in auto and motorcycle accidents, slip and fall mishaps, construction accidents and accidents involving sporting activities.

After automobile accidents, the next most frequent cause of brain injuries are falls, which are the number one cause of brain injuries in the elderly. Overall, falls account for 26 per cent of all traumatic brain injuries, or TBI, in this country.

A skilled Alabama brain injury lawyer can help you in gaining financial compensation when a brain injury occurs in a fall that's due to another's negligence.
