Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers in Monterey Park, CA

Mendez and Sanchez - Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers in Monterey Park, California

If you or a family member sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) during a personal injury incident, you already know the impact these injuries can have. Living with a brain injury is never easy. A TBI can be straining on a person's physical, mental, and financial health. A TBI can also make it difficult to work, resume your daily activities, and enjoy a long and active life.

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

Consult a Monterey Park 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 generally affect an individual for a short time period before they make a complete recovery. More serious traumatic brain injuries can cause bruising, torn tissue, bleeding, and various other physical damage that results in long-term complications or death.

What Kinds Of Brain Injury Cases Does Mendez & Sanchez Handle?

Our brain injury attorneys take on all kinds 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 one of the most common causes of brain injuries in the United States. Car accidents are common and several result in head injuries. Truck accidents are less common, however they involve devastating force that results in an increased chance of a TBI. And motorcycle riders simply have little to no protection and can easily injure 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 car hits a pedestrian, they are usually thrown or crushed from the force of the vehicle. This collision commonly causes brain injuries in major pedestrian or bicycle collisions.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, 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 might result.

Birth Injury

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

Slip and Fall

When a person 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. Yet some can be devastating and result in lasting consequences and real pain and suffering.

Work-Related Accidents

Some jobs and industries are known to be more hazardous than others. For example, a worker in the construction industry may suffer a brain injury at work from falling, being crushed, or during a vehicle accident. In these situations, they might 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 with 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 family. In most cases, victims and their loved ones are dealing with mounting expenses, stress, and an uncertain future. If your traumatic brain injury is serious, you may be out of work for a long time. Along with medical bills, you might be able to receive other compensation because of the accident.

Insurance companies will pay the least amount possible because they are in business to make money. They do not care about your injuries; they just 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 various types of compensation that you can receive consist of:

Traumatic brain injuries may be mild or serious and can have extensive recovery times. Compensation for long-lasting injuries will help you support yourself and your loved ones.
