Brain Injury or Head Trauma?
Our Tennessee Brain Injury Lawyer Can Help
Tennessee brain injury attorney Stan Davis is committed to helping people. Our clients at the Law Office of Stanley A. Davis are our neighbors and their families who have suffered preventable brain injury, or the premature death of a loved one because of the brain injury. Stan Davis understands and respects the life-altering and complex physical, emotional, social, cognitive, financial, vocational, and rehabilitative changes you are facing due to the negligent actions, or inactions of others through a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle, bicycle, or ATV accident, slip or fall, sport or recreational accident, or an act of violence. It is our commitment to provide you with compassion, righteousness, and experienced legal advice throughout your time of need.
The causes of traumatic brain injuries are a sharp blow to the head or penetration of the skull and brain by a foreign object, which results in the brain colliding with the inside of the skull. This impact or penetration results in bruising or bleeding of the brain, and the possible damage of nerve fibers. Referred to as the “silent injury,” devastating brain injury symptoms sometimes do not appear until days, weeks, months, or even years after the initial accident.
While some symptoms of brain injury are common to many victims, each individual, and each family endure their own unique needs and challenges. Mood changes, loss of balance, confusion, slow or slurred speech, ringing ears, and constant slight headache are all possible symptoms of brain injury and require immediate medical attention.
Slips and falls are the leading factor in brain injuries for children and for persons aged 45 and above. At risk for premature death from the fall are those persons aged 65 and above. Inadequate safety around playground equipment, lack of shallow water signage, loose or broken handrails, merchandise falling from shelves, icy walkways, poor lighting, buckled sidewalks, or improperly maintained work environment and equipment are all examples of negligence on the part of an individual or group. Maintaining an environment that is respectful of public safety is the responsibility of the property owner and a lack of attention to these details puts us all in danger.
Motor vehicle accidents are the cause of over 50% of brain injuries. Car or truck drivers, intentionally or unintentionally, behaving recklessly by talking on their cell phone, speeding, or driving under the influence, result in subsequent brain injuries to the drivers, passengers, and pedestrians with whom they share the road. Manufacturer defects such as SUV rollovers, seatback collapse, and faulty seatbelts enable the occupants of the vehicle to smack their heads against a steering wheel, dashboard, or window or windshield causing serious brain injury. Unsafe road conditions including unfixed or unmarked potholes, poorly marked intersections, defective or missing guardrails, and improperly designed roadways, bridges, and rights-of-way are prevalent causes of resulting brain injury.
