Mendez and Sanchez - Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys in Montebello, California

If you or a family member sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) during a personal injury incident, you already understand the effect these injuries can have. Suffering from a brain injury is never easy. A TBI can be straining on an individual's physical, psychological, and financial health. A TBI can also make it hard to work, resume your everyday activities, and enjoy a long and active life.

After a brain injury, your future might depend on the treatment you get and your ability to pay for the treatment that you need. That's why you should consult with an attorney about getting the compensation you deserve. The medical expenses and lost wages, as well as the pain and suffering, are not something you should have to handle alone.

Get In Touch With a Montebello traumatic brain injury lawyer at Mendez & Sanchez if you are struggling with a head injury because of a motor vehicle accident or any other accident.

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

The definition of a traumatic brain injury is "a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury." These injuries include:

TBIs range from mild to severe with varying symptoms and degrees of prognosis.

Mild traumatic brain injuries usually affect a person for a brief period of time before they make a full recovery. More serious traumatic brain injuries can cause bruising, torn tissue, bleeding, and other physical damage that causes long-lasting problems or death.

What Types of Brain Injury Cases Does Mendez & Sanchez Handle?

Our brain injury attorneys take on all types of claims involving brain injuries that were caused by another party's negligence. A few of the most common types of TBI cases we handle include:

Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents

Automobile accidents are among the most common causes of brain injuries in the United States. Car accidents are common and several lead to head injuries. Truck accidents are less common, yet they involve devastating force that leads to an increased possibility of a TBI. And motorcycle riders simply have little to no protection and can easily hurt their head when they are struck or ejected from their bike.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

Pedestrians and bicyclists are completely exposed when they are walking or biking near roads. If a vehicle hits a pedestrian, they are typically thrown or crushed from the force of the vehicle. This collision often results in brain injuries in serious pedestrian or bicycle collisions.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice happens when a physician, hospital, or other healthcare provider deviates from the standard of care, causing an injury to the patient. If the mistake causes a lack of oxygen to the brain, or fails to notice or treat an existing brain issue, a TBI may result.

Birth Injury

Infant brain damage can happen during childbirth in certain circumstances that are naturally caused and also in situations involving negligence. The most common causes of birth injury TBIs are using an instrument like forceps with too much force or asphyxiation when the brain is deprived of oxygen for too long.

Slip and Fall

When an individual slips and falls from a slippery floor or broken staircase, they can easily hit their heads hard enough to inflict a brain injury. Some falls are not serious and result in minor injuries. But some can be devastating and lead to lasting consequences and real pain and suffering.

Work-Related Accidents

Some workplaces and industries are known to be more hazardous than others. For instance, an employee in the construction industry might suffer a brain injury at work from falling, being crushed, or during a car accident. In these situations, they may be able to recover compensation through workers' compensation benefits. If a party besides the employer was responsible, they may be able to get additional compensation through a third-party personal injury claim.

Compensation for Damages from a Brain Injury

Receiving compensation for a brain injury that was not your fault can make all the difference for you and your loved ones. In most cases, victims and their loved ones are dealing with accumulating expenses, stress, and an uncertain future. If your traumatic brain injury is severe, you might be out of work for some time. Along with medical expenses, you might be able to receive other compensation because of the accident.

Insurance providers will pay the least amount possible because they are in business to make money. They do not care about your injuries; they only care about their bottom lines. If you attempt to settle, you may not receive sufficient compensation for past medical expenses, never mind future medical costs and lost time from work.

The different types of compensation that you could receive consist of:

Traumatic brain injuries may be mild or serious and may have long recovery times. Compensation for long-term injuries will help you support yourself and your family.
