Your Kansas brain injury lawyer can press your Kansas case

Following automobile accidents, the second most common cause of brain injuries are falls, which are the number one cause of brain injuries in older persons. In total, falls account for approximately 1/4 of all traumatic brain injuries, or TBI, in America. As many as three-fourths of such falls occur in the home, but the other 1/4 happen elsewhere, including work, a place of business or on the road. Moreover, more than a third of falls happen simply by tripping or slipping while walking. Yet such falls can be deadly. A knowledgeable Kansas brain injury lawyer can help you in obtaining monetary recovery when a brain injury happens in a fall that's because of another's negligence.

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 Kansas brain injury lawyer can hold auto companies accountable for such negligence and fight for justice for you and your loved ones.

Information from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control indicate that annually 50,000 people will die in the United States due to TBI, or traumatic brain injury. Moreover, such injuries lead to long-term disabilities for 80,000 individuals. Such injuries are normally caused by an external physical force against the brain which leads to a lessened or altered state of consciousness. Such injuries are 1.5 times more likely to occur in men. Vehicular collisions and falls together account for 48 per cent of such injuries, and those falls often are caused by another person's wrongdoing. An experienced Kansas brain injury attorney can pursue just and fair compensation in these instances.

TBI, or traumatic brain injury, can occur in auto and motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, construction accidents and accidents involving sports events. A brain injury also can arise via dangerous drugs, including prescription drugs. Medications can affect the flow of blood to the brain, leading to damage to the brain, including internal bleeding. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury, contact a trained Kansas brain injury lawyer for prompt legal help.

TBI, or traumatic brain injury, can reveal itself in varied forms. First, the TBI must be explored via tests using an MRI, CT or other imaging device. These may reveal moderate to severe TBI, which can involve sensory loss, paralysis, seizures, weakness, reduced muscle control, memory loss and eating, sleeping and speaking disorders. The severe end of a TBI includes coma. Insurance companies may contest that these ailments were a result of a TBI, but your Kansas brain injury lawyer can fight in the legal arena for you and your loved ones in this regard.
