Norman Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
The brain is the control center of the body as well as the source of our thoughts and emotions. When the brain suffers a direct blow, violent shake, or puncture wound, the sensitive brain cells that send messages to the body become damaged and destroyed.
Brain injuries range in severity from mild to catastrophic, but all require medical treatment and have temporary or permanent impacts on the injury victim’s life. If you or a family member suffered a preventable brain injury in Norman or the surrounding region, and the injury resulted from someone else’s carelessness or reckless actions, call the Norman personal injury attorneys at Dan Davis Law.

What Causes Traumatic Brain Injuries?
Some brain injuries occur due to medical conditions such as strokes or aneurysms. Others result from outside trauma—a traumatic brain injury. Most traumatic brain injuries in compensation claims were preventable if only someone else had taken reasonable care. Common causes of traumatic brain injuries include the following:
- Slip-and-fall accidents (especially in the elderly)
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Contact sports injuries
- Recreational activity injuries
- Falls from heights
- Falling objects/struck-by injuries
- Workplace accidents
- Crimes of violence/gunshots/explosions
Even the mildest traumatic brain injury—such as a concussion—requires medical care and increases the risk of adverse medical conditions later in life. More severe traumatic brain injuries can cause lifelong disability and related damages.
Traumatic brain injuries occur when blunt force trauma or a powerful shake or jar causes the brain to bump or twist inside the skull. Bleeding and inflammation cause permanent harm to sensitive brain cells with an array of resulting impacts on function, mood, cognition, and personality. Common types of brain injuries seen in traumatic brain injury claims in Norman include the following:
- Concussion
- Contusion
- Hematoma
- Diffuse-axonal injury
- Coup/contrecoup injury
- Traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH)
Traumatic brain injuries may be penetrating injuries such as puncture wounds, skull fractures, and gunshot wounds, or non-penetrating injuries caused by the brain bumping against the bony inside of the skull.
Recovering Damages In an Oklahoma Traumatic Brain Injury Claim
Even a mild concussion quickly becomes costly, with an emergency room bill and days of missed work. More serious traumatic brain injuries can make it challenging or impossible to return to the workforce. A successful traumatic brain injury claim brings compensation for damages such as past and future medical expenses, lost earnings, diminished future earning capacity, compensation for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional damages. Your traumatic brain injury lawyer in Norman will carefully calculate your damages and prove the negligent party’s liability for the best possible outcome in your claim.
