Brain Injury - Overview
Learn more about negligence.
In addition to claiming that a person or business was negligent in causing a brain injury, your attorney may also argue your case under a theory of "strict product liability." Under this theory, the manufacturer of a product that injured you (or the manufacturer of a faulty product designed to protect you, such as a helmet) may be held liable if it can be shown that the product was somehow unreasonably unsafe under the circumstances.

Getting Help
If you or a loved one is experiencing the symptoms of a brain injury, you should first seek immediate medical attention. If you believe that someone else may be at fault for the incident that led to the injury, you may also wish to speak with an experienced attorney to discuss your legal right to compensation for your injuries.
