Brain Injury Attorney

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 1.4 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) every year. Falls and traffic accidents are the most common causes of TBI, as studies reveal that, combined, they contribute to about 48 percent these injuries. Males are approximately 1.5 times more likely than females to sustain a traumatic brain injury. Last year alone, TBI caused a loss of productivity that cost the U.S. economy around $60 billion in revenues. Of the approximately 5.3 million U.S. citizens currently living with traumatic brain injury, about 245,000 are Pennsylvanians.

Tragically, even the mildest form of brain damage, such as a concussion, can have serious, long-term negative health effects. Regardless of whether traumatic brain injuries are minor or severe, however, in many cases, they cause irreversible damage to a person's cognition, emotions and physical abilities. The more severe the injury sustained, the more intense and costly the necessary lifelong care will be.

Common causes of traumatic brain injury include:

• medical malpractice
• closed head sports injuries
• work-related head injuries
• motor vehicle/traffic accidents
• birth injuries
• slip and fall accidents

When another person’s negligence or recklessness causes someone to sustain any kind of brain injury, the injured party will have a legitimate personal injury claim and will be entitled to seek compensation for his or her losses. At the Foley Law Firm, our accomplished personal injury attorneys have, on average, nearly 30 years of professional experience representing the rights of brain injury victims.
