How Long Does It Take to Recover From a Traumatic Brain Injury?
Traumatic Brain Injuries: The Long Road to Recovery
Being involved in a car crash, a fall, or other serious accident is scary and traumatizing. It is common for victims to go into shock, either physical or psychological, immediately following the accident. Therefore, when initially looking for injuries, it is easy to look for the visible: broken bones, cuts, scrapes, bruising, etc. Traumatic brain injuries, however, are oftentimes not visible to the naked eye but still accounted for 61,000 deaths in 2019 alone. A plethora of complications from traumatic brain injuries, ranging from minor cognitive delays to debilitating and life-threatening symptoms such as seizures and coma, can follow the victim for years after the injury.

What is Strict Liability Law?
How Does Strict Liability Affect My Personal Injury Claim?

When the strict liability law doctrine is applicable, victims can seek out a personal injury claim without the emotionally exhausting task of establishing the responsible person(s) or company‘s proof of negligence, intention, or carelessness.

Updated, February 2023

The previous law stated only that all children under 4 years of age must be restrained in a safety seat – it did not specify rear or front-facing, and did not state that children that young must ride in the back seat.
The law had been updated again recently to match the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s newest guidelines. According to the updated law, children under the age of 8, less than 57 inches tall, or less than 80 pounds, are required to be placed in a car or booster seat as approved by the U.S. […]

Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer to Help Fight the Insurance Company After a TBI
We don’t often think about the brain and the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of different ways we use it every day. But break down each part of your day into its component parts and you begin to see just how much your brain does for us.
Even making your morning coffee becomes a multi-faceted, complex operation your brain runs each and every day. Even more fundamental than that, your brain directs your body to do numerous things that we never even think about: it makes sure that you breathe, it tells your heart to beat, and it directs your body to digest the food that you eat.
So what happens when you or someone you love suffers a traumatic brain injury (TBI), affecting your brain’s ability to function? […]
