Grant County Pleasant Traumatic Brain Injury lawyers
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the term used to describe the damage to the brain suffered as a result of a sudden physical force. The human brain consists of billions of microscopic fibers, suspended in cerebrospinal fluid. While the exterior skull is smooth, the inner surface contains ribbing and pronounced bony structures. Impact with these inner surfaces of the skull causes tearing and bruising that results in brain damage.
If you have a loved one that has suffered from Traumatic brain injury (TBI), contact our PleasantTraumatic brain injury (TBI) lawyers now!
Brain Injuries occur when momentum of the brain causes it to impact against a skull that has been decelerated. Typically, TBI is caused by the impact of the head with an object, such as when hitting a windshield or the dashboard of a car. In such cases, the injury is considered to be a closed head injury. Closed head injury also may occur when the brain undergoes a severe forward or backward shaking, such as with infants who are mishandled or in cases involving whiplash suffered during an automobile accident. TBI can also be caused by a penetrating head injury, whereby an object such as a bullet penetrates through the skull and into the brain. Closed head injuries present unique challenges in litigation since they often will demonstrate no obvious external symptoms of injury, even though the damage to the brain can be severe. TBI does not refer to brain injuries or defects that are hereditary, congential or degenerative, or induced by birth trauma, toxic substances, or disease-producing organisms.
In cases involving Traumatic Brain Injury, it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, prove the nature and extent of your injuries, and to enable expert medical witnesses to support the cause of your injuries. If you or a loved one has suffered what you believe may be a traumatic brain injury from an accident, call Law Offices of Tony Zirkle now!
Don’t delay! You may have a valid claim and be entitled to compensation for your injuries, but a lawsuit must be filed before the statute of limitations expires.

Punitive Damages in Personal Injury Lawsuits
Punitive damages are awarded over and above compensatory damages and are designed to punish the wrongdoer and to deter similar conduct on the part of others. Punitive damages are awarded only when the defendant’s behavior is willful, intentional, reckless, outrageous or malicious in some way. As a consequence, punitive damages are typically not available in [...]

Usually, nominal damages consist, as the name suggests, of a mere nominal amount of money such as $1 or $10. If you or a [...]
Compensatory Damages in a Personal Injury Claim
Compensatory damages are the most common form of monetary award in successful personal injury lawsuits. This is true because most personal injury lawsuits are based on negligence.
