What to Do if You’ve Suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury


Brain Injury

Accidents and other incidents, whether intended or unintended, can result in devastating injuries.  However, there are few injuries that can compare to a traumatic brain or head injury. Millions of Americans sustain traumatic brain injuries annually; the majority of these victims will require lifelong assistance as a result of their injuries. Individuals with traumatic brain injuries often require long-term care, with injuries resulting in a wide range of physical, mental and emotional disabilities.

  • We offer free consultations so you can get all your questions answered and can spend time talking directly with an experienced attorney about your rights and expected outcomes.
  • Leave all the work to us. We will be in contact with doctors, hospitals, witnesses, insurance providers, police, attorneys and anyone else necessary to settle your claim. We will thoroughly investigate your injury and will build a solid case so that you are more likely to be awarded additional compensation from insurance companies or other parties.
  • You focus on you. Whether you are still recovering, or dealing with the stress and anxiety that is common following injury accidents, now is the time to focus on your own needs while you leave the details of your case in the hands of experienced attorneys that will get the job done right.
  • We work on a contingent fee basis. This means that you don’t need to lay out any money up front in order to have our injury attorneys work on your case. We don’t get paid unless we recover a financial settlement or jury award for you.

Common Legal Questions About Traumatic Brain Injuries


What is Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury to your brain that is usually caused by a jolt or blow to the head that disrupts the function of the brain. While not all impacts can cause traumatic brain injury, the severity of such an injury may range from “mild” – a brief change in mental status or consciousness – to “severe” – an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury. A traumatic brain injury could potentially have short term, or even worse, life-altering effects that require a hefty financial burden.

What are the most common causes of a Traumatic Brain Injury?

There are endless ways in which you could suffer a traumatic brain injury. The most common that we see from our legal experience have been cause from:

  • Falls
  • Motor vehicle/traffic crashes
  • Sports injuries
  • Assaults
  • Blast or explosions


What are the signs and symptoms of mild TBI or concussion?


The severity of a traumatic brain injury can differ from mild to severe, which will also determine the signs and sympoms. No symptom is necessarily a definite cause of a TBI, but is surely a cause for medical attention to rule out and prevent any long term damage.

Some of the most common signs and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury, including a concussion include:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue/Tiredness
  • Concentration problems
  • Memory loss
  • Irritability
  • Inability to sleep
  • Trouble with balance
  • Ringing in your ears
  • Doubled or blurred vision

I usually never leave reviews, good or bad, but for this instance, I most definitely had to. David and Marnie were both AMAZING. They made me feel comfortable and confident in their ability to resolve my case. I was walking in a crosswalk and was hit by a vehicle resulting in having to go to the hospital. I sustained injuries from this that I am still in the midst of dealing with. I contacted the firm and was able to speak with them via zoom immediately. I decided to sign with them on a Monday evening (3 days after my accident) and by Tuesday afternoon (the very next day) my case was settled. And settled for the very max that was able to be obtained. I attribute a lot of this to not only the expertise of the firm, but the relationships that Marnie has built with her experience working as a lawyer within a major insurance provider, which just so happened to be the insurance provider involved in my case. This is incredibly atypical for a case to be settled this quickly, especially with this outcome. It has been two weeks to the day today that my accident has happened and my case has already been resolved. I am blessed and more than happy that I decided to hire this firm. Every case is different, but I can bet that this firm will handle your case with care and the utmost professionalism. I pray I never have to go through a situation like this again, but if I did, I wouldn’t hesitate to call this law firm. Thank you guys very much!!

I highly recommend Eltringham Law Group to anyone seeking legal advice after having a car accident. David Eltringham and his entire staff gave me the personal attention I needed during a very difficult and painful time. David took the extra steps needed to ensure that I received the medical care I needed as well as the financial compensation I deserved. Harold Torres, Paralegal updated me every step of the way. Thank you Eltringham Law Group!
