Charleston Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
Mullins McLeod Can Help with TBI
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), also called acquired brain injury, occurs when the brain is damaged due to a jolt or blow to the head. TBI can arise in various circumstances, including the following:
- Car accident
- Motorcycle accident
- Truck accident
- Workplace accident
- Dangerous or defective products
- Negligence, recklessness or misconduct of another individual
The main causes for traumatic brain injury are bruising or bleeding, tearing and swelling. A person's brain will hit the hard bone of the skull in the event the head is subject to a hard jolt or blow. This leads to the tearing of blood vessels. As there is no extra space for blood inside the skull, pressure compresses the brain tissue causing injury, and damages the brain functions. Although some accidents may seem minor, the injuries can be severe depending on the force of the jolt or blow, and the age and physical fitness of the victim.
Brain injury litigation can be very complex; therefore the need for a team of lawyers that masters the medical and legal issues at hand is indispensable. At McLeod Law Group, LLC we have extensive experience with traumatic brain injury cases, and any type of
personal injury case. We can help fight for your rights.
