Head injuries can be caused by a variety of situations, including a head-on collision while playing football, or a violent car accident. We’ve also seen quite a few brain injuries related to construction accidents.
Brain injuries in Arizona are more common than you might think. When the brain sustains a traumatic injury, it can permanently change the victim’s life. Cognitive problems, loss of motor function, memory loss, speech impairments, permanent disability, and death can all result from a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

1,233 people died in Arizona as a result of a head injury in 2014. Firearms and falls caused the majority of wrongful deaths due to brain injuries in Arizona. There were 6,581 non-fatal hospitalizations due to traumatic-brain injuries (TBI) in Arizona. And more than 54,000 hospital visits were related to a head injury in Arizona.

Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers in Arizona
While the statistics on traumatic brain injuries plaguing Arizona’s citizens are staggering, it’s important to understand what’s causing these life-changing head injuries. As Arizona’s citizens increase in age, they are far more likely to suffer a head injury. This could be due to loss of balance, as well as other compounding medical conditions.
From construction site accidents to mistakes during childbirth, brain injuries can happen in numerous circumstances.
• Car crashes
• Sports injuries
• Falls
• Acts of violence
• Struck-by objects
• Surgical errors
All these accidents are all common causes of TBIs. In basic terms, anything that causes the brain to strike the inside of the skull, lose oxygen supply, or bleed and swell can result in a traumatic brain injury.
The brain can sustain damage in a number of ways. A blunt impact to the head, such the head striking the roadway in a car accident or another player in a football game, can cause a concussion and subsequent brain injury. Penetration injuries, such as gunshot or stab wound, can also affect the brain. If something cuts off oxygen to the brain (e.g., accidental drowning, anesthesia error, or birth injury), it can cause brain damage. Finally, something shaking the head too roughly, especially the head of a child, can cause swelling or bleeding in the brain.
No two brain injuries are alike. Each patient will experience different symptoms and effects. Some injuries inflict temporary damage from which the patient can eventually recover, such as dizziness or confusion. Others are permanent, and will always affect the victim’s life. If you or a loved one has permanent brain damage from a recent injury, retain an attorney. You may be eligible for significant compensation if negligence played a role in your accident.
What Damages Can You Recover For A Brain Injury?
Brain injuries are often “catastrophic” in the eyes of the law, or an injury that causes disability. Catastrophic injuries qualify for the greatest amounts of compensation because they cost the victim the most. You may be able to recover for your financial losses as well as non-economic damages such as loss of quality and enjoyment of life. Lost capacity to earn, home and vehicle modifications, live-in care, mental anguish – all these are compensable damages in the state of Arizona. Speak to the brain injury lawyers at Zanes Law to learn the potential value of your case.
Anytime you’re in an accident that affects your head, see a doctor. You may not notice symptoms of a serious TBI right away, but medical scans can diagnose this issue. Quick diagnosis and prompt treatment can make a big difference in how much the brain injury ultimately affects the individual’s life. Surgery, therapy, and other methods can potentially limit symptoms of a TBI. Once you’re on the mend, contact our brain injury lawyers in our Tucson and Phoenix offices.
