Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Life-changing injuries deserve life-changing advocacy.

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are among the most complex and devastating injuries a person can experience. Even a “mild” TBI like a concussion can cause persistent headaches, memory loss, mood swings, and concentration issues. More serious TBIs may result in permanent cognitive impairment, mobility limitations, or the need for lifelong medical care. At Carma Legal, we fight to ensure that clients living with brain injuries receive full and fair compensation for the challenges they now face.

Why TBI cases require a specialized approach

Unlike broken bones or visible wounds, brain injuries are often invisible on the outside. Insurers and defense counsel may try to downplay symptoms, argue that they are temporary, or blame pre-existing conditions. Proving a TBI requires legal skill, medical knowledge, and close collaboration with experts. We understand the tactics insurance companies use and build strong cases backed by medical records, diagnostic testing, and testimony from treating providers and specialists.

Common causes of TBIs we handle

Car accidents where head trauma occurs due to impact with the steering wheel, dashboard, or airbag deployment

Truck and commercial vehicle crashes that cause violent jolts or rollovers

Motorcycle and bicycle accidents where helmets may not fully prevent injury

Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents leading to head impact on concrete or hard surfaces

Pedestrian accidents where vehicles strike the head or cause secondary impact

Assaults or unsafe property conditions resulting in traumatic head injuries

Workplace incidents or construction accidents involving falling objects or falls from height

Symptoms and effects of TBIs

Brain injuries can vary widely in severity. Some symptoms appear immediately while others take days or weeks to develop.
