Your Oklahoma brain injury lawyer can press your Oklahoma case

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, contact a experienced Oklahoma brain injury attorney for fast legal assistance.

TBI, or traumatic brain injury, can manifest itself in various ways. First, the injury must be explored through evaluations using an MRI, CT or other imaging equipment. These may impart information on moderate to severe TBI, which can be manifested by sensory loss, paralysis, seizures, weakness, lessened muscle control, memory deficiencies and eating, speaking and sleeping disorders. The severe extreme of a TBI includes coma. Insurance providers may dispute that these problems were due to a TBI, but your Oklahoma brain injury attorney can advocate in the legal realm for you and your family members in this situation.

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 Oklahoma brain injury attorney can pursue just and fair compensation in these instances.

Frequently brain injuries happen during an SUV rollover incident. Such automobiles 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 routine. 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 vehicles. A knowledgable Oklahoma brain injury lawyer can hold auto companies accountable for such negligence and fight for justice for you and your loved ones.

Following car accidents, the second most common cause of brain injuries are falls, which are the chief 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 Oklahoma brain injury lawyer can aid you in obtaining monetary recovery when a brain injury happens in a fall that's because of another's negligence.
