Helping Severely Injured Individuals Recover Fair Compensation

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can occur either as a result of a sudden impact, causing the brain to collide with the skull and resulting in a closed head injury, or when an object impacts the skull and damages the brain, leaving an open wound (known as an open head injury).

If you were or your loved one suffered a TBI as a result of someone else’s negligence, our brain injury lawyers in Fresno, Stockton, and Bakersfield can help. Since 1983, we have been helping injured victims and their families fight for the full, fair compensation they needed to assist with medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages.

In addition to Fresno, Stockton, and Bakersfield, our brain injury lawyers also serve clients and have offices in Los Angeles.

Brain Injuries Due to an Accident

A brain injury can cause serious medical problems and may change a person’s life forever. It also tends to have a serious impact on the family members of the victim as well, as brain injuries often require extensive, ongoing care and can prohibit an individual from returning to or obtaining any gainful employment.

Brain injuries are often suffered by people involved in serious, traumatic incidents, including the involving:

• Car accidents
• Motorcycle wrecks
• Truck collisions
• Defective products
• Pedestrian accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Slip and falls
• On-the-job injuries
• Construction accidents
• Medical malpractice/negligence

Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury

Brain injuries that have not been diagnosed soon after an accident can result in serious problems.

To detect a brain injury, look for the following symptoms and warning signs:

• Change in behavior
• Mood swings
• Mobility difficulties
• Poor balance
• Poor coordination
• Loss of memory
• Impulsive behavior
• Loss of vision
• Loss of taste
• Aggressive behavior/frustration
• Inability to focus
• Hearing loss
• Breathing difficulties
• Depression

A TBI not only affects the victim but also the people around them. It is not uncommon for a brain injury victim to require full-time care and extensive medical attention. This can be a burden on family members, both financially and emotionally.

Why You Should Talk to a Lawyer about Your Brain Injury

Brain injuries can be difficult to detect, especially if they are closed head injuries because there are very few outer signs or symptoms. Brain injury symptoms and effects can even arise months after the incident that caused the brain injury. This can make your brain injury claim very difficult to handle without the experienced assistance of the brain injury lawyers at Torem & Associates.
