A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can change the course of your life in an instant. Whether the result of a car crash, fall, workplace incident, or violent assault, the effects of a TBI are often permanent and far-reaching. Victims may struggle with memory, mobility, mood regulation, and the ability to work or care for themselves. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury due to someone else’s negligence in Richmond, a knowledgeable Richmond TBI attorney at Malloy Law Offices is ready to help you seek justice and full compensation.
A TBI occurs when the brain is damaged by a sudden blow, jolt, or penetrating injury. These injuries range in severity and often require extensive diagnostic imaging, neurological evaluations, and long-term care. Common types of TBIs include:
Concussions – Often caused by whiplash or blunt impact; can cause headaches, confusion, or memory loss.
Contusions – Brain bruises that may lead to swelling or bleeding.
Diffuse Axonal Injuries – Caused by rapid acceleration or rotation, often seen in high-speed car crashes.
Penetrating Injuries – When a foreign object pierces the skull and brain tissue.
Secondary TBIs – Injuries made worse by swelling, oxygen deprivation, or infection after the initial trauma.
Even mild TBIs can lead to long-term complications, which is why prompt diagnosis and skilled legal advocacy are critical.
Traumatic brain injuries can result from almost any serious accident, particularly when negligence is involved. Common causes include:
Motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle, or pedestrian collisions)
Bicycle or scooter accidents involving negligent drivers
Slip and fall incidents on unsafe property
Workplace accidents involving falls or falling objects
Sports or recreational injuries
Physical assaults or gunshot wounds
Medical negligence leading to oxygen deprivation
If another party’s reckless behavior caused your TBI, you may have a strong claim for compensation.
TBIs don’t always show up right away, and some symptoms may appear days after the accident. Watch for:
Loss of consciousness or disorientation
Persistent headaches
Nausea or vomiting
Blurred vision or light sensitivity
Changes in mood or behavior
Difficulty concentrating or remembering
Sleep disturbances
Slurred speech or confusion
Seek immediate medical attention—and legal guidance—if you suspect a brain injury.
