A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be among the most devastating types of injuries one can receive. Think about it (even to do that requires your brain!)—no part of your body, no thought or action occurs without your brain’s cooperation. Because TBIs can have a wide range of effects on your body and the complex manner in which they manifest, it can be difficult to determine the type and amount of compensation you and your family will need. That’s why it’s in your best interest to have an experienced Sacramento brain injury attorney on your side to help make your case clear and enable you to get the damages to which you are rightfully entitled. Below are some common questions regarding TBIs.

What exactly constitutes a traumatic brain injury?

A TBI is any injury to the brain after birth that is not genetic, congenital, or the result of a degenerative condition such as Alzheimer’s or dementia.

How do TBIs occur?

Brain injuries are most often caused by a blow or bump to the head or an object piercing the skull that is traumatic enough to disrupt normal brain function. This type of injury can occur in various circumstances, including car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian, slip and fall, and other accidents.

What are the possible effects of a TBI?

Your brain controls so many different functions in your body. A TBI can have a negative impact on cognitive (memory loss, learning issues, attention problems), emotional (mood swings, temper outbursts, anxiety), or physical (headaches, loss of bladder/bowel control, impaired mobility) functions.

Do TBIs cause permanent damage?

TBI can result in temporary, long-term, and, in some cases, permanent changes in abilities. Testing, medical treatments, and therapies can all be necessary for healing or remaining maximizing abilities and developing compensatory strategies. It is why the expenses associated with TBIs can be so high.

I was in a very bad/ major car accident I originally had an attorney who wasn’t trying to help me out much or take any of my calls so I called Tiemann and told them my situation. They made it an AWESOME and Smooth transition over to them and took on both cases I had. I just settled on my big case and am beyond great full. For them and their team! I highly recommend them. To add on to this a little On how much they will work with you, I moved to Montana in the middle of all Of this and it was not an issue!

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
