Overview
Chicago's Trusted Brain Injury Attorneys: Advocating for Victims
Brain injuries are often very serious and can have a prolonged and permanent impact on the person who was hurt. A concussion can lead to permanent impairment, resulting in brain surgery, extensive medical expenses, and lost time from work. In the worst scenario, a traumatic brain injury may require multiple surgeries, cognitive impairment, the inability of the victim to return to work and lead a normal life, and the need for long-term care.
Experienced brain injury attorneys
Romanucci & Blandin has represented many individuals who have suffered mild to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). If the accident which led to the brain injury occurred as the result of another’s negligence and recklessness, the victim may be entitled to full compensation for medical expenses, the loss of workplace compensation, pain and suffering. Individuals or a loved one considering these types of medical malpractice claims or negligence cases can find legal advice from a medical malpractice attorney to be valuable.
Severe brain injury can be caused by a lack of oxygen, or hypoxia, where the body doesn't have enough oxygen supply to perform its basic functions. In severe cases, called anoxia, the oxygen deprivation to brain cells is so severe it leads to permanent brain damage. There are a number of common causes of this type of brain injury including a birth injury that can lead to cerebral palsy, medication errors, anesthesia errors, as well as aneurysm, heart attacks or blood clots that can be complicated by misdiagnosis or error by a medical provider.
In other cases, a TBI can be caused by such things as a car crash, sports injury, workplace accident, or construction site negligence. A traumatic brain injury of this nature can also create disabilities, cognitive impairment, medical bills, healthcare needs, loss of employment and other challenges for both the injured individual and their family members. If these brain injuries were the result of someone's negligence or recklessness, legal action can be a way to help bring a measure of justice.
Examples of Traumatic Brain Injury Cases
Over the years, we have seen individuals of all ages who have suffered from traumatic brain injuries – oftentimes at the hands of someone else’s actions.
- Sports injuries resulting in a traumatic brain injury often occur in high school to college-aged adolescents, as well as professional athletes engaging in contact sports such as football and hockey, or games that involve balls that are hard and moving quickly, such as baseball and lacrosse. Repeat concussions are often a large issue, especially amongst football players who experienced head trauma during their playing careers.
- Construction site and building negligence can leave both site workers and pedestrians in compromising positions. We have seen several examples of cases where a traumatic brain injury occurred due to a lack of sufficient safety measures on the workplace site, and where pieces of a building were not secured, resulting in injury to a pedestrian.
- Traffic collisions including car accidents, motorcycle accidents and truck accidents often leave drivers and passengers with traumatic brain injuries due to the often abrupt and impactful crashes that can take place. Additionally, when airbags are triggered, their power can also cause one’s head to experience another level of trauma.
