We begin by defining what counts as a TBI. Whether you’ve experienced a concussion (mild TBI), a moderate to severe injury involving loss of consciousness, an open head injury caused by penetrating trauma, or a closed head injury from a jolt or blow, you’ll learn how each type can impact your life. We also explain hypoxic and anoxic brain injuries—those caused by oxygen deprivation during medical procedures, near-drownings, or birth complications—and why they often fall under TBI claims.
Next, we review the most frequent ways TBIs occur across Western Pennsylvania. You’ll hear real examples of motor vehicle accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, and pedestrians—where speeding, distracted driving, and impaired operation often lead to serious harm. We discuss slip and fall incidents on icy sidewalks or uneven surfaces, and how property owners may face premises liability if they neglect hazards. We also cover workplace injuries from falls off ladders, heavy machinery malfunctions, and industrial explosions, plus sports and recreational injuries in contact athletics, ATV riding, biking, or skiing. Even cases of medical malpractice—such as surgical errors, birth injuries, or delayed diagnoses—can result in a brain injury claim. And we touch on rare but important situations involving exposure to hazardous substances in industrial or environmental settings.
Understanding the legal side of your case starts with the four elements of negligence: duty of care, breach of that duty, causation, and damages. We break down each element in clear terms: how drivers must obey traffic laws, how property owners must keep premises safe, and how healthcare providers must follow accepted medical standards. You’ll learn why proving that a breach directly caused your injury can require medical testimony, and how documenting your economic and non‑economic losses builds a strong claim.
We walk you through the kinds of compensation you can seek in Pennsylvania: current and future medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and even property damage. We explore non‑economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium. In rare cases, courts may award punitive damages to punish especially reckless conduct.
Time is critical. Under 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. If a minor suffers a TBI, the clock often doesn’t start until their 18th birthday, giving until age 20 to act. We explain why missing this deadline means losing your right to compensation.
In Pennsylvania alone, about 543,000 people live with acquired brain injuries, and nearly 138,600 new TBIs occur each year. The lifetime cost of care for birth‑related brain injuries can top $1.5 million. This video shows you how early legal guidance can protect your future.
