Summerlin Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
Summerlin Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney
It’s possible to sustain brain damage, even from seemingly minor accidents, such as some workplace incidents or car accidents. Even mild brain injuries pose health risks and difficulties in daily functioning. Furthermore, it’s easy to overlook potential harm to the brain if you’ve suffered other, more apparent catastrophic injuries after an accident. If you think that you may have a strong injury claim, be sure to consult with a Summerlin traumatic brain injury lawyer.
The qualified TBI attorneys at Easton & Easton have a deep knowledge of several areas of injury law, including wrongful death, motor vehicle collisions, slip-and-falls, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, and many others.
Common Accidents That Can Cause Traumatic Brain Damage
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) most commonly happen after falling accidents and motor vehicle collisions. Falling after slipping or tripping can inflict serious harm due to the head making a sudden and violent impact on the ground or a stationary object. Alternatively, falling from a great height can increase the force of impact. Traffic accidents can cause numerous injuries, but even mild crashes may result in whiplash injuries, TBIs, or even penetrative head wounds.
TBIs can also occur during workplace accidents, such as an object falling from above, and occupational hazards. This is especially the case within certain professions, like construction, manufacturing, and military combat.
Significant brain damage is frequently reported among athletes who play in extreme or high-impact sports, such as football, hockey, skateboarding, boxing, etc. Athletes are additionally more vulnerable to repeat brain injuries, which can cause more severe damage than a standalone TBI.
Traumatic brain injuries may also occur from healthcare professionals making a negligent error when prescribing or administering treatment; this is known as medical malpractice. Physician mistakes can lead to TBIs. These include providing patients with incorrect medication or dosage, delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, improper treatment or failure to treat, and other errors.
How Can a TBI Accident Lawyer Help Me?
Having a capable and experienced injury attorney in Summerlin, Nevada, can help you through the legal processes of filing an injury claim can be immensely useful to your case. Not only can your claim be taken more seriously by insurance companies with a qualified lawyer to negotiate on your behalf, but your attorney is prepared to litigate and represent you in court if a settlement cannot be reached outside the courtroom. An injury attorney can make sure that you receive a fair settlement.
Additionally, allowing a legal professional to oversee your injury case lets you focus on recovering from your accident, adjusting to various life changes, and tending to your other obligations. The numerous procedures and laws involved in pursuing an injury settlement can be complex and overwhelming, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the process. Your attorney can help you file the correct paperwork on time, keep track of court dates and deadlines, and more.
Having a deep understanding of injury law allows your lawyer to know which legal strategies will be most effective for your unique situation. Furthermore, your legal counsel already has the experience to anticipate what the defendant’s attorney is likely to argue, and they know what evidence is required to satisfy the court so they can rule in your favor.
FAQs
Q: Does a TBI Cause Personality Changes?
A: It’s possible for moderate to severe TBIs to impact behavior, like an individual’s personality has seemingly changed. TBI survivors may act unlike themselves, such as having difficulty controlling their emotions, responses, or reactions. In addition, they may start acting inappropriately in social situations, have difficulty communicating effectively, or be unable to follow conversations, among other possible changes.
These behavioral shifts can occur because TBI patients often have cognitive issues that make certain functions more difficult, like focusing, expressing ideas, understanding a situation, controlling impulses, etc.
Q: Can a Brain Fully Recover From a Traumatic Head Injury?
A: It’s difficult to say whether someone’s brain and their ability to function will fully recover after enduring significant damage. It’s wise to consult with a trained medical professional who can determine how the injury may progress based on the details of the inflicted damage. Many symptoms will resolve themselves over time, while others require consistent and active treatment. It may prove difficult to reduce the severity of certain persistent symptoms.
Q: Which Type of TBI Causes the Most Damage to a Brain?
A: There are several types of serious TBIs that can cause significant injury. Generally, a TBI that shortly follows an initial TBI, called second impact syndrome, is considered to be among the most severe types of injury to the brain. Other serious types of TBIs include accidents where an object penetrates the skull and brain, as well as incidents that cause the brain itself to shake or twist inside the skull, known as a diffuse axonal injury.
Q: What Mental and Physical Issues Can a TBI Cause?
A: Traumatic brain damage can cause a variety of physical and cognitive symptoms of varying degrees of frequency and severity to occur, depending on the type and seriousness of the TBI and whether the patient is receiving consistent rehabilitative treatment.
Cognitive symptoms usually involve difficulty with:
- Organization
- Planning
- Decision-making
- Problem-solving
- Learning
- Communicating verbally or in writing
Physical symptoms may include persistent headaches, loss of balance or dizziness, nausea and vomiting, and more.
Q: Are Personality Changes After a TBI Permanent?
A: Some aspects of a TBI patient’s personality that changed after their accident will seemingly never go back to how they were before, while others can improve with proper behavioral treatment and rehabilitative support.
Many changes in personality are simply the TBI survivor struggling with the physical effects of their injury. They also have difficulty regulating their behavior/emotions after suffering brain damage. Survivors often feel upset that they’re having trouble completing simple tasks or functioning as they did before.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!
