Types of Accidents Involving Brain Injuries We Handle
Our law firm works with victims suffering from traumatic brain injuries resulting from accidents caused by others. A blow to the head, a fall, or, in some cases, just the rapid back-and-forth movement of the head can cause damage to the brain, resulting in often unseen and significant injuries. Some of the most common accident types causing these injuries include:
- Car accidents, especially head-on or rear-ending collisions
- Truck accidents of all types
- Motorcycle accidents, especially with ejection and even with helmet use
- Pedestrian accidents
- Slip and fall cases
- Product liability claims
- Medical malpractice matters, including surgical errors
- Bicycle accidents
If you were in any of these types of accidents and suffered a traumatic brain injury requiring medical care and support, reach out to our lawyer for a free consultation. Let our team gather evidence related to your accident, then build a claim to seek fair compensation. Speak with Premier Law Group today.
Types of Brain Injuries We Often Handle
Choosing lawyers with experience is critical to the success of your claim. Brain injuries can happen in various ways. Some of the most common types of traumatic brain injuries we handle include:
- Concussions: A type of closed-head injury, concussions involve a brief loss of consciousness, confusion, and headaches. Some severe forms can create long-term cognitive damage.
- Diffuse axonal injury: DAI involves the tearing of the brain’s nerve fibers due to the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the head. This is common in auto accidents. Many people suffer from ongoing injuries.
- Contusions: A contusion is a type of bruise that occurs in the brain tissue itself. Many people suffer from bleeding, swelling, and pain. It can occur on both sides of the head in cases of injury.
- Skull fractures: Though not a traumatic brain injury directly, skull fractures involve damage to the skull, which often results in pressure or piercing of the brain tissue, causing ongoing losses.
- Intracranial hematoma: A collection of blood that occurs in various areas of the brain, typically exerting pressure on the white matter.
After any type of accident, visit the local emergency room for a full examination. This is very important in any type of accident involving rapid back-and-forth movement of the head or neck, as well as any instance in which you struck your head. These complicated cases often require ongoing medical care.
How We Build a Claim for Your Brain Injuries
If someone else’s actions or inactions led to your brain injury, you may be able to file a lawsuit against those parties for the losses you incurred. To do this, our Redmond traumatic brain injury attorney must demonstrate negligence, the legal premise that demonstrates that someone who owed you a duty of care failed in it and that caused an accident resulting in injuries. To prove this, you can expect our attorney to:
- Complete a full investigation. We gather evidence of all types of injuries and losses you sustained. We determine who caused the accident, as well as any third parties involved.
- Determine your current and future losses. Brain injuries are complex, often with unknown future outcomes. Our attorney will use medical expert opinion, your doctor’s information, and specialist insight to provide clarity on what your future holds and what your losses are.
- Negotiate a claim. Your attorney will negotiate with the insurance company to demonstrate their obligation to cover your losses. Many cases are resolved through negotiated settlements.
In limited situations, the insurance company may dispute the claim or pursue aggressive measures to reduce the amount of compensation you receive. Our experience allows us to know when you should not agree to less. In addition, the Washington statute of limitations (RCW 4.16.080) gives you three years from the date the injury occurred to file a lawsuit. If the insurance company is unfair, expect us to do so.

Determine the Value of Your Traumatic Brain Injury Case
Traumatic brain injuries often result in serious and life-threatening complications. Every facet of your life may be different than what it was thanks to another person’s negligence. You have the right to pursue compensation for all losses you can demonstrate, and we pursue the full compensation supported by the evidence. Some of the types of losses owed to many victims include:
- Medical expense recovery: This includes costs for immediate and ongoing medical needs, including medications, surgeries, hospitalizations, and rehabilitation
- Loss of income: Typical in situations where a person missed time at work, we seek loss of wages, benefits, and bonuses you missed
- Pain and suffering: This claim includes all of the suffering you endured as a result of the accident, and through the recovery
- Mental anguish: These are devastating accidents, often resulting in life-changing trauma, depression, and anxiety
