Dedicated Legal Support For Traumatic Brain Injury Victims In San Diego
After a traumatic brain injury, you should be focused on recovery. Instead, you may find yourself fighting insurance companies that undervalue or deny your claims. If a negligent party caused your injury, you deserve legal representation that will fight for your best interests.
At Barvie Law, I help people in San Diego understand those rights and take action. I am attorney Nicole V. Barvie, and founded this firm on the belief that every person, regardless of their background or occupation, deserves a fair shot at justice.
Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a type of personal injury that happens when a sudden blow to the head affects normal brain function. TBIs range in severity from mild to severe.
The most common form of a mild TBI is a concussion. A concussion may seem minor at first, but it can cause lasting cognitive and physical complications. A moderate or severe TBI can affect how you think, move and communicate. Even a mild TBI deserves medical attention and the guidance of an experienced attorney.
Common Causes Of Traumatic Brain Injury
TBIs often result from someone else’s negligence. Common causes of TBI include:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Construction and workplace accidents
- Sports and recreational injuries
- Acts of violence
If this closed head injury resulted from others’ actions, you may have the right to seek compensation with my help. I regularly represent clients in California’s construction and hospitality industries who have suffered TBIs in these circumstances.
How A TBI Can Change Your Life
A TBI affects more than just the person who suffers it. Physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, seizures and difficulty with movement can leave a victim dependent on others in ways that frustrate both the victim and the people who love them.
Beyond the physical impacts, functional problems such as memory loss, difficulty communicating and trouble concentrating can disrupt daily life and work. The depression, anxiety and personality changes that often follow can be just as devastating for the victim and their family members.
The financial pressure compounds these challenges. Medical bills, rehabilitation costs and lost income can push a household toward serious hardship. These consequences are often lasting, and you have the right to hold the responsible party accountable.
