A brain injury can send your life into a tailspin in an instant. More than 2 million people end up in U.S. emergency rooms with traumatic brain injuries every year. Some of them die, and many others are left with lasting impairments.
Some head injuries are mild and may heal in weeks or months. But others are catastrophic, resulting in lifelong disabilities that prevent victims from living the lives they once envisioned for themselves.
Coping with the reality of life after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is difficult, especially if someone else’s recklessness caused the accident. The estimated lifetime cost of caring for a survivor of a severe TBI easily stretches into the millions of dollars. Very few families have that kind of money. That’s why it’s worthwhile to consult with an experienced traumatic brain injury attorney. Working with a lawyer can help you seek the compensation you need to make the best recovery possible.

Your brain is perhaps your most vital organ. It receives and sends signals throughout the body so that everything runs smoothly. But it also is the unique part of the body that governs who you are – your thoughts, feelings, personality, memory and overall experience of the world.
When this most delicate and precious organ is suddenly damaged in a traumatic accident, it’s quite possible that the pieces will never fully fit together again.
People who suffer head trauma may experience long-term symptoms such as:
In addition, survivors of brain injuries are more likely to develop other neurological conditions associated with old age, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, and dementia.
Thankfully, not all brain injuries have such catastrophic consequences. But even a so-called “mild” injury requires medical care, proper rest, and recovery. Sometimes the full extent of the trauma is not realized until months after the accident. In fact, some injuries don’t even show up on brain scans. But that doesn’t mean neurological damage doesn’t exist.
One of the most frustrating things for survivors is that neurologists can make no solid promises about how well someone will recover after a brain injury. Even in the most similar of cases, it’s very possible that one person will recover much better than another.
Generally, head injuries are classified into two broad categories:
There are multiple different types of TBIs:

Right after a brain injury, it’s hard to think at all – let alone figure out whether you might have a legal case. Sometimes it’s very straightforward. If you were sitting at a red light and a distracted driver slammed into your car, they can almost certainly be held liable for your injuries.
But not all cases are that clear-cut. Think about a multi-car accident. There may not be just a single driver at fault. The same goes for a truck crash. A truck driver may have actually hit you, but it’s possible that the trucking company, manufacturer, or other parties may be held liable as well. That’s why it’s so important to talk to a brain injury attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
In Oklahoma, there are personal injury laws that allow victims and their families to be awarded damages after they have been hurt due to someone else’s negligence. You may still be able to collect compensation even if you were partially to blame for the accident.
