Call Us NowUnderstanding How Negligence Causes Traumatic Brain Injuries in Idaho
One party’s carelessness or recklessness can cause a wide range of accidents and incidents that leave victims living with traumatic brain injuries. In the legal world, we call this negligence. Negligence frequently causes many types of accidents, including the following:
- Auto accidents
- Commercial vehicle and truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents involving motor vehicles
- Premises liability accidents
- Fall accidents
- Construction accidents
If you believe someone else’s negligence may be a factor in causing your injuries, our team will assess your case and determine if you might have a valid claim. We can hold the negligent party responsible and seek a fair settlement for you.
Traumatic Brain Injuries Could Require Specialized Care and Rehabilitation
Treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI) usually begins with emergency stabilization and medical care. Even when injuries are relatively minor, they may need to be treated as emergent injuries. In more serious cases, surgery may be necessary to reduce pressure or bleeding in the brain.
Rehabilitation for TBIs often includes physical, occupational, speech, and cognitive therapies. The goals include restoring abilities, maintaining independence, and rebuilding strength. Ongoing and future care for those living with serious TBIs could involve medication, counseling, and support for daily living.
Sometimes, those with brain injuries require specialized care at a facility well-equipped to treat traumatic injuries. These are known as trauma centers. In Idaho, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare recognizes four Level II facilities across the state:
- Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center
- Kootenai Health
- Portneuf Medical Center
- Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center
If you’ve been injured or a loved one has been killed through an act of negligence, you need the highest level of legal representation.
