When a Head Injury Changes Everything, Raipher Fights to Make It Right
A Traumatic Brain Injury, or TBI, can happen in an instant but change life forever.

Common causes of TBIs
Traumatic Brain Injuries can occur in nearly any serious accident where the head is struck, shaken, or penetrated by force. Some result from direct impact, while others occur when the brain moves violently inside the skull. Understanding how a TBI occurred is essential for proving fault and recovering compensation.
Common causes include:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian crashes are among the leading causes of severe head injuries.
- Falls and Slip Accidents: Falls from ladders, stairways, or icy walkways often cause concussions and other brain injuries.
- Workplace and Construction Accidents: Falling objects, heavy machinery, and unsafe job sites pose serious risks to workers.
- Sports and Recreational Injuries: Contact sports, cycling, and boating accidents can lead to concussions and long-term damage.
- Violence or Assault: Physical attacks and gun-related incidents are also frequent causes of traumatic brain injuries.
These causes point to a potential source of negligence, whether a careless driver, a property owner who ignored hazards, or an employer who failed to maintain a safe workplace. A lawyer experienced in complex injury litigation can identify who is responsible and demand accountability.
Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Not all TBIs are the same, and the level of damage can vary widely. Some victims recover within weeks, while others suffer lifelong cognitive or physical impairment. Understanding the type of brain injury helps determine the appropriate medical care, long-term prognosis, and compensation needed.
Common types of TBIs include:
- Concussions: Often caused by sudden impact or whiplash, leading to headaches, dizziness, and memory problems.
- Contusions: Bruising or bleeding on the brain that may require surgical intervention.
- Diffuse Axonal Injuries: Widespread damage caused by violent shaking or rotational force, often leading to coma or severe disability.
- Penetrating Injuries: Objects entering the skull, such as debris or metal fragments, causing direct brain damage.
- Anoxic or Hypoxic Brain Injuries: Resulting from oxygen deprivation during accidents, medical errors, or near-drowning incidents.
Brain injury cases require expert testimony and medical analysis to connect symptoms and imaging results to the cause. Raipher’s attorneys work closely with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life-care planners to ensure that every aspect of the injury is documented and valued.
The cost of recovery and long-term impact
TBI recovery is often a lifelong process. Victims may need hospitalization, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and ongoing neurological care. Some lose the ability to work, drive, or live independently. Families must also adjust to new financial and emotional realities, including caregiving responsibilities and lost household income.
The lifetime cost of treating a severe brain injury can exceed millions of dollars, depending on the level of impairment and the need for ongoing care. Insurance companies often underestimate these expenses, pushing settlements that fail to account for long-term needs. Accepting an early offer can leave victims without the resources they need to rebuild stability and independence.

Our legal team calculates the true financial impact of the injury, incorporating future medical expenses, lost wages, and diminished quality of life. We demand compensation that reflects the full scope of the damage, not just the short-term losses.
