What is a Brain Injury?

A brain injury, often referred to as a traumatic brain injury (TBI), is an injury to the brain after a blow to the head. It can be a penetrating injury or a non-penetrating injury. Brain injuries vary in severity, from mild concussions to permanent brain damage that renders the individual incapable of caring for themselves. This severity depends on:

• Whether the individual lost consciousness
• Whether certain neurological symptoms occurred when the injury happened
• If the individual experiences memory loss and how often
• Abnormalities in the brain tissue detected by an MRI or CT scan.

Degrees of the Severity of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries fall into levels described by degree, which are:

• Mild TBI: Concussion, brief alterations of consciousness, and confusion but no permanent damage
• Moderate TBI: Loss of consciousness for more than 30 minutes, with confusion lasting up to a week
• Severe TBI: Loss of consciousness for over a day, changes detectable in an MRI or CT scan.

Categories of Traumatic Brain Injury

In addition to severity, TBls might fall into the following categories:

• Uncomplicated TBI: Normal scans, regardless of the grade of TBI (mild to severe)
• Complicated TBI: Head changes identified by brain MRI or head CT scans, like bleeding or swelling
• Closed TBI: The skull was not penetrated
• Open TBI: A penetrating injury caused damage to the brain tissue
• Nontraumatic TBI: An anoxic or hypoxic brain injury resulting from oxygen deprivation to the brain.

Our brain injury attorney will seek to ensure that all responsible parties are held accountable.

Why Do You Need a Reno Brain Injury Lawyer

You need a Reno brain injury attorney to help build a case against the party that caused the accident and to help you get your due compensation.

The treatment for a head injury can be extensive, requiring occupational or speech therapy and sometimes counseling to help people work through the changes in their brains after the accident. Some cases require surgery. All of this costs money. If you or your loved one requires treatment in a residential care facility, paying for these accommodations can cost thousands of dollars per month.

Our Reno brain injury attorney will help you investigate your case and pinpoint the party or parties responsible for the accident that caused your injury while you’re receiving treatment. In the case where multiple parties are responsible for your brain injury, a thorough investigation will be needed. Whoever is responsible for your accident, our lawyers can help you take legal action, guide you through all the legal processes, and help you get the compensation you deserve.

Reno Brain Injury Lawyer FAQS

You can reach out to us when you have any specific questions, but here are some questions frequently asked by our clients:

How Much Does a Brain Injury Attorney Cost?

Like most brain injury attorneys, the team at Leverty & Associates Law works on a contingency basis, which means that our fees are assessed as a percentage of the final settlement. If we don’t win your case, we don’t get paid.

Will I Have to Go to Court?

Many families are nervous about going to court, and we try to spare you that experience. Most brain injury cases are settled through mediation or negotiations supervised by a neutral party in an effort to find a compromise. However, sometimes, the other party will not come to a fair agreement in negotiations. In that case, yes, we will take your case to trial.

How Long Do I Have to File a Brain Injury Lawsuit?

Nevada has a time limit called the statute of limitations. It states that a personal injury case, such as a brain injury lawsuit, must be filed within two years of the date of the injury. However, it’s best to hire a traumatic brain injury lawyer sooner rather than later. Witness testimony and recollections are fresher, and there is more evidence that will establish fault in your case.
