Any hard hit to your head can cause a brain injury. Even a sharp jerk or jolt to your neck can cause a concussion or hematoma. While the type of accident causing your brain injury may be different than someone else’s, there are some common causes. These can include:

• Slips and falls
• Violent assaults
• Vehicle accidents
• Sports injuries

A head-on car collision can be particularly devasting, often resulting in severe brain injuries. Even a hard tackle during a friendly game of football can give you a concussion – a mild form of brain injury.

If your brain injury is the result of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. This is a reason why we encourage you to contact a specialist at Morgan & Morgan. While not every case is eligible for compensation, we will carefully assess the merits of your case. If your case meets the legal requirements, you may be able to receive compensation for your damages that can include:

• Medical expenses
• Property damage
• Lost wages and future income
• Loss of quality of life
• Pain and suffering

Remember, every brain injury lawsuit in Brooklyn is different. You may be entitled to additional compensation depending on the particulars of your case. Before accepting a settlement offer from an insurance provider, consult with a Brooklyn brain injury attorney. You don’t want to accept less than you’re entitled to receive.
