Your Nebraska brain injury lawyer can press your Nebraska 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 Nebraska 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.

A brain injury can affect a sufferer's well being forever. That is due to the fact that brain tissue cannot regenerate. After a brain cell is lost, it cannot be recovered. That means the abilities linked to the damaged brain cell cannot be restored. For this reason, recovery from a brain injury can be slow. In the case of any brain injury, contact a knowledgable Nebraska brain injury lawyer for assistance.

TBI, or traumatic brain injury, can happen in auto and motorcycle accidents, slip and fall mishaps, construction accidents and accidents involving sporting activities. A brain injury also can occur due to harmful drugs, including prescription drugs. Medications can alter the flow of blood to the brain, causing damage to the brain, such as internal hemorrhaging. When you or a family member has sustained a brain injury, call a experienced Nebraska brain injury attorney for fast legal assistance.

Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reveal that each year 50,000 individuals will die in America due to TBI, or traumatic brain injury. Also, such injuries cause long-term disabilities for 80,000 citizens. These injuries are typically caused by an external physical force against the brain which causes a diminished or an altered state of consciousness. These injuries are 1.5 times more likely to be found in men. Vehicular accidents and falls combined account for 48 per cent of these injuries, and these falls often are the result of another person's negligence. An experienced Nebraska brain injury lawyer can seek fair and just compensation in these cases.

Many times brain injuries occur in an SUV rollover accident. These vehicles are built in such a way that they often tip or roll over, and such accidents are made worse because SUVs tend to have "roof crush," meaning the roof caves in on occupants when the car rolls over. In such cases, brain injuries are tragically frequent. Such injuries can be serious if not deadly, and they are caused largely by the negligence of the manufacturer, which knew of design defects yet continued marketing such defective automobiles. A skilled Nebraska brain injury lawyer can hold manufacturers responsible for such negligence and pursue justice for you and your family.
