TBI solicitors

What is a traumatic brain injury (TBI)?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when an external force causes damage to the brain, affecting its normal function. This type of injury can result from a wide range of events such as car accidents, sports injuries, falls, violent assaults, or explosions. TBIs can range in severity from mild concussions to severe brain injuries that result in long-term impairment or even death.

If you were involved in an accident that caused you to suffer a brain injury, you could be entitled to compensation. The specialist TBI solicitors at Beacon Law are experienced in head and brain injury cases and have worked with many clients over the years, compiling a significant amount of knowledge on the subject and process.

Wondering the amount of compensation from a traumatic brain injury you could receive? Get in touch with our TBI solicitor team today to find out how much you could receive if your claim is successful.

Common accidents that lead to TBIs

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result from various accidents and incidents. Some of the most common accidents that lead to TBIs include:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

  • Car Crashes: Collisions, rollovers, or sudden stops can cause the head to impact the steering wheel, dashboard, windows, or airbags, resulting in a TBI. Even if a person wears a seatbelt, the force of the impact can still cause the brain to move inside the skull, leading to concussions or more severe brain injuries.
  • Motorcycle Accidents: Riders who are not wearing helmets or in high-impact collisions are at increased risk for head injuries, as they can be thrown from the bike or hit hard surfaces.
  • Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents: Pedestrians or cyclists who are struck by a vehicle are at significant risk for head injuries, especially if they fall to the ground or are hit at high speeds.

Falls

  • Slips and Trips: Falls from a standing position, slipping on wet surfaces, or tripping over obstacles are common causes of TBIs. These falls are particularly dangerous for older adults, who are more prone to falling due to reduced mobility or balance.
  • Falls from Heights: Falling from ladders, scaffolding, stairs, or other elevated surfaces can lead to serious TBIs. Workers in construction or people involved in recreational activities like hiking or rock climbing may be at risk.
  • In Home Accidents: Many falls occur inside the home, such as slipping on wet bathroom floors or tripping over furniture.

Sports and Recreation Injuries

  • Contact Sports: Athletes participating in football, boxing, hockey, rugby, or other contact sports are at a higher risk of experiencing TBIs, particularly concussions, due to impacts to the head.
  • Cycling, Skateboarding, and Rollerblading: These activities carry the risk of falls or collisions, especially if the person is not wearing protective gear like helmets.

Assaults and Violence

  • Physical Fights: Blows to the head during a fight, whether with fists, weapons, or objects, can result in TBIs. This can lead to both mild and severe brain injuries, including concussions and skull fractures.
  • Domestic Violence: Physical abuse, especially blows to the head or being thrown against walls or furniture, can cause TBIs in victims of domestic violence.
  • Gunshot Wounds: Penetrating TBIs often occur from bullets that enter the skull and damage brain tissue.

Workplace Accidents

  • Construction Accidents: Workers in construction, especially those working at heights or handling heavy machinery, are at high risk for TBIs, including falls from scaffolding, being struck by falling objects, or accidents involving equipment.
  • Factory and Industrial Accidents: In environments where heavy machinery or vehicles are in use, workers can suffer head injuries due to mechanical malfunctions, mishaps, or accidents.
  • Agricultural Accidents: Farmers and agricultural workers are exposed to risks like falling from tractors, being struck by animals, or mishandling tools and equipment.

Explosions and Blast Injuries

  • Military and Combat Accidents: Military personnel and individuals in war zones may suffer TBIs due to explosions or blasts from bombs, grenades, or other explosive devices. Blast injuries can cause brain damage even without direct head trauma, as the pressure from the blast can shake the brain inside the skull.
  • Occupational Exposure: Workers in certain industries (e.g., mining, demolition, or oil drilling) who work with explosives may also be at risk.

The process of making traumatic brain injury compensation claims

When you first consult with our specialist TBI solicitors, they’ll provide expert legal advice and guide you through the crucial initial stages of the claims process. To assess the strength of your potential claim, they’ll carefully gather details about your accident, including the specific location, date, and time, as well as any available witness accounts, the party responsible, and the unique circumstances surrounding the incident.

To build a strong case, it’s vital to gather relevant evidence promptly. This may involve collecting CCTV footage, obtaining comprehensive medical records, taking photographs of your injuries, securing witness statements, and arranging a formal medical examination to obtain detailed medical reports on the nature and extent of your brain injuries.

If your claim has a solid foundation, we’ll offer a “no-win, no-fee” agreement, ensuring that you won’t incur any legal fees unless we successfully win your case.

Once we formally notify the defendant of your claim, they may either accept responsibility for your injuries, leading to settlement negotiations, or deny responsibility, which may necessitate legal proceedings to resolve the dispute.

It’s important to remember that every brain injury case is unique, with its own specific circumstances and challenges. Our experienced personal injury lawyers are committed to providing personalised support and guidance throughout the entire claims process. We’ll keep you informed at every stage, ensuring that you understand the legal procedures and potential outcomes.
