A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is unlike any other injury. It can affect everything from your memory and speech to your ability to work, socialize, and live independently. These invisible but devastating injuries often go misunderstood or underestimated—especially by insurance companies. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury due to someone else’s negligence in Wheaton, the Wheaton TBI attorney at Malloy Law Offices is here to help you recover the compensation you need to rebuild your life.
A TBI occurs when the brain is injured due to a sudden impact, jolt, or penetrating force. It can happen in a wide range of situations—from a fall on a slick floor to a violent car crash or workplace accident. Common types of TBIs include:
Concussions – Often labeled “mild,” but symptoms can persist for months or years
Contusions – Bruising of brain tissue that may require surgery if bleeding occurs
Diffuse Axonal Injuries – Caused by the brain shaking inside the skull, often resulting in coma or long-term impairment
Penetrating Injuries – Involving foreign objects entering the brain
Second-Impact Syndrome – A second TBI before the first has healed, which can be fatal
The symptoms of a TBI aren’t always immediate—and without prompt diagnosis and treatment, complications can worsen over time.
Brain injuries can occur in everyday settings where negligence plays a role. Some of the most common causes we see include:
Motor vehicle accidents (including car, truck, and motorcycle crashes)
Falls in grocery stores, office buildings, or apartment complexes
Construction site accidents involving falling tools or debris
Workplace injuries involving machinery or slips
Pedestrian or bicycle accidents involving impact to the head
Assaults, falls, or injuries on unsafe premises
If your injury was caused by someone else’s carelessness, our legal team will get to the bottom of what happened—and who’s liable.
TBIs affect every person differently, but some symptoms appear commonly across cases:
Persistent headaches
Memory loss and cognitive difficulty
Difficulty concentrating or processing information
Slurred speech or impaired language
Personality or mood changes
Sleep disturbances
Sensory sensitivity (light, noise, motion)
Loss of motor function or coordination
Whether your TBI is considered “mild” or “severe,” you deserve legal representation that understands the true cost of recovery.
When someone else’s negligence causes your brain injury, you may be entitled to substantial compensation, including:
Medical bills (imaging, surgeries, rehab, cognitive therapy)
Lost wages and future loss of earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress and psychological counseling
In-home care or assisted living costs
Modifications to your home or vehicle
Wrongful death damages (if a TBI proves fatal)
