A traumatic brain injury can change everything — memory, personality, the ability to work, and independence. TBIs from crashes, falls, and workplace accidents often require a lifetime of care. Injury Claim Team connects Washington brain injury victims and their families with attorneys who understand the medicine and the long-term stakes.
Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries
TBIs range from concussions to severe, permanent brain damage. Symptoms — headaches, memory loss, mood changes, cognitive impairment — may not appear immediately, which is why prompt medical evaluation after any head trauma is critical, both for health and for documenting the injury.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Washington
Motor vehicle crashes, falls (especially in older adults), workplace accidents in construction and industry, sports, and assaults are leading causes. The high force involved in highway crashes and falls makes these injuries common in serious accident claims.
Valuing a Brain Injury Claim
Because a severe TBI affects a person for life, these claims account for ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, lost earning capacity, in-home assistance, and the profound impact on quality of life. Expert testimony on future needs is often essential.
Washington Law and Your TBI Claim
Washington's pure comparative negligence rule (RCW 4.22.005) and the general three-year statute of limitations under RCW 4.16.080 apply. Because the stakes are so high, careful documentation of the injury's impact is vital, and Washington does not cap compensatory damages in most injury cases.
