Head Injury Accident Attorneys in Phoenix, Arizona

Head injuries can be caused by a multitude of things, whether it is due to a car accident, a pedestrian accident, or a slip and fall accident. The brain is our most important organ, as it provides us with the ability to think, make decisions, and perform various functions. Unfortunately, these accidents can potentially cause a person pain, discomfort, and/or permanent emotional and physical damage.

When a head injury occurs, the functions of the neurons, nerve tracts, and/or sections of the brain can be affected. If this happens, the brain's neurons and nerve tracts may be unable to or have difficulty carrying messages throughout the brain. This could result in changes in thinking, physical functions, and personality and behavior.

List of Head Injuries

A person who was injured in an accident and suffered a head injury may be presented with a host of issues that can be very difficult, stressful, and exasperating. These head injuries may include, but are not limited to, the following:

Traumatic Brain Injury

If the head injury is extreme enough, it can result in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). This occurs when external physical influences (i.e. car accidents) traumatize the brain - not when the brain is damaged because of a degenerative or congenital influence. The external force can diminish or alter the state of consciousness. This may result in an impairment of cognitive abilities or normal physical functioning. It may also result in abnormal behavioral or emotional functioning, which can be either temporary or permanent; this may cause partial or complete functional disability and/or psychosocial maladjustment.

Claims against Government Agencies or Public Entities

When a government or public employee or agency is negligent and causes an injury, there is a markedly different process involved as compared to a claim against an individual or private business. There is a much shorter time frame to bring a claim and a lawsuit. Therefore, there is an increased urgency to obtain legal counsel to timely submit a claim against a government agency or public entity. A more detailed explanation is available on our Government or Public Entities Claims Pages.
