Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury | Kentucky Head Injury Lawyer

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a very prevalent cause of injury and death in the United States. TBI has been much discussed in military injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan and more recently with the long-term exposure of NFL players to brain injury, but TBI is something that can happen to any of us during our normal everyday activity.

The experienced Kentucky TBI lawyers at Dallas & Turner, PLLC, are here to share our insights into the common causes of TBI and your legal options in each case.

Trucking Accidents

Semi-trucks are the greatest threat to non-commercial traffic on our highways and interstates. The sheer mass of semi-trucks compared to consumer vehicles makes them highly dangerous in any incident involving a semi-truck, regardless of fault.

If you were involved in a trucking accident where the truck driver was at fault, then the trucking company’s insurance will do everything in their power to mitigate their exposure to paying you what you deserve.

When dealing with trucking accidents, you need experienced truck accident lawyers who know how to fight the insurance companies and get the money you are entitled to compensate for your injuries.

Car Accidents

In the event that you or a loved one was injured in a car wreck where the other driver was at fault, you are legally entitled to damages.

Many people have a misconception about the target of a lawsuit in this case: the driver is not the target of most car accident cases, it is the driver’s insurance company.

Auto insurance companies are more likely than the driver to have the financial resourcs available to compensate you for your medical treatment and damages, and it takes a lawyer with experience in both brain injuries and in dealing with car wrecks to help you receive the compensation you deserve.

Defective Seat Belt or Airbags - Product Liability Cases

Car wrecks and trucking accidents are bad enough, but what happens when brain injuries are a result of an airbag failing to deploy or seatbelt failure?

In these cases, the automobile manufacturer may be directly liable in what is called a product liability case. These cases require experience dealing directly with litigation against manufacturers, not just insurance companies. Finding a TBI lawyer who also has experience with product liability cases is vitally important.

Premise Liability Cases - Slip-and-Fall Brain Injuries

If you or a loved one sustained a brain injury from a slip-and-fall accident on the premises of a private business, you may be entitled to compensation and damages under a premise liability case.

Companies have liability insurance to guard against the unknown, and if you were injured in a fall where the facility was at fault, you need to find an attorney who understands the ins and outs of premise liability cases.
