When Can You File a Brain Injury Case in New York City?

When a TBI occurs due to someone else’s negligence, you can file a personal injury lawsuit and pursue financial compensation.

For example, if you sustained a brain injury in a car crash that was another driver’s fault, this could constitute negligence. Or, if you suffered oxygen deprivation during a procedure due to a doctor’s mistake, this may also be considered negligence.

These are some of the most common types of traumatic brain injury cases we handle:

The statute of limitations varies depending on exactly what type of case you’re filing. For instance, medical malpractice cases generally must be filed within 30 months of the injury. Product liability and personal injury cases must be filed within three years from the date of injury.

Traumatic brain injuries sometimes present with clear symptoms. The symptoms may also be subtle and have a gradual onset.

These are some of the most common signs and symptoms of a TBI:

Treatment for Traumatic Brain Injuries

Treatment for a TBI depends on the extent of harm. For example, some people may have to relearn how to speak, while others may require psychological counseling.

Traumatic brain injury patients often require the following:

• Cognitive therapy
• Emergency medical care after severe cases, such as surgery to repair skull fractures, relieve pressure in the skull, or treat blood clots in or near the brain
• Long-term rehabilitation
• Physical therapy
• Prescription drugs for seizures, anxiety, depression, and more
• Psychological counseling
• Rest, for mild cases
• Speech therapy
• Vocational counseling

Types of Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries vary in type and severity. They can be caused by physical blows to the head, shearing back-and-forth forces, oxygen deprivation, and more.

These are some of the most common types of brain injuries:

• Brain hemorrhage, or bleeding within the brain
• Concussion, usually from a sudden physical blow to the head
• Contusion/coup-contrecoup, which is basically a bruise on the brain, and often results from violent back-and-forth movement of the brain striking the skull
• Epidural hematoma and subdural hematoma, which are blood clots near the brain
• Hypoxia (diminished oxygen) and anoxia (complete oxygen deprivation)
• Penetrating injury, which is when an object penetrates the skull and brain
