Traumatic brain injuries are some of the most catastrophic, life-changing, injuries a person can incur. A traumatic brain injury (TBI), a specific type of head injury that occurs to the brain damaging its normal functioning, can be suffered in any number of ways but is commonly attributed to a fall or motor vehicle accident. No matter how the harm is sustained, whether through a slip and fall on an icy driveway, an auto accident with a drunk driver, or faulty equipment, the personal injury lawyers at Tapalian Law know there are few things as serious or devastating as an injury to the head resulting in brain trauma. It affects a person not only physically, but there can also be significant personality and emotional shifts involved. It’s difficult enough for a person and their loved ones to cope with the aftermath of a TBI without the additional stress of having to cope with a personal injury case, especially if the injury was caused by someone else’s reckless or negligent behavior. At Tapalian Law, our skilled Rhode Island personal injury team will help you navigate your claim while you focus your energies on recovery.
