Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuits

Minneapolis & St. Paul Brain Injury Attorney

Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, affects millions of people in the U.S. and thousands here in Minnesota. Sadly, according to the CDC, 153 people die every day in our country from trauma that includes brain injury. And those who survive often face lifelong impairments to speech, movement, cognition and behavior.

At Brazil Sweeney Law Group, we represent injured people and their families throughout the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Greater Minnesota. Our personal injury lawyers have extensive experience handling a variety of accident and injury cases involving severe head and traumatic brain injuries and wrongful death. We fight tirelessly on behalf of our clients because we understand how seriously these injuries affect victims and entire families.

TBIs Occur Due to Various Accidents

From our Minneapolis law firm, our traumatic brain injury attorneys help Minnesotans who have suffered head trauma in a wide range of scenarios, including:

Falls, which account for more than half of TBI injuries and deaths for people aged 14 and under and nearly 80 percent of such injuries for people over age 65.
Medical malpractice, which can lead to brain injuries caused by oxygen deprivation, anesthesia overdose and other forms of negligence.
Auto accidents, including bicycle and pedestrian accidents, car crashes and motorcycle accidents.
Workplace injuries, including falling objects, equipment accidents, and falls from heights.

Why It’s Important to Contact a Lawyer After a Head Injury

Brain injuries are not always obvious. Sometimes, a brain injury does not become apparent until long after the accident took place, which means it can be overlooked. When that happens, an injury that could have been treatable, like a concussion, gets worse over time. That is why, even if you don’t initially believe you suffered such an injury, it is important to get thoroughly checked out by qualified medical professionals immediately following an accident. Additionally, you should reach out to an injury and accident lawyer who can advise you on the right steps to take to protect your rights to compensation if your injuries emerge later.
