A Traumatic Brain Injury Can Occur Anywhere
A traumatic brain injury can occur any time there is a blow, jolt, or other trauma to the head. Common causes of traumatic brain injury include:
- Motor vehicle accidents: In a car accident or truck collision, the occupants’ heads may hit the steering wheel, seat, or windshield. Even without a direct blow to the head, the jolt from a sudden stop can cause the brain to twist or strike the skull, resulting in a TBI.
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents: Cyclists and pedestrians have no protection from the force of a collision. Victims of a pedestrian collision or bicycle accident may suffer TBI upon impact with the vehicle or the ground.
- Slip and fall injuries: Slips, trips, and falls are a primary cause of traumatic brain injury in individuals over 65, but people of any age are at risk.
- Workplace accidents: Workers often sustain traumatic brain injuries on the job. Employees in construction, freight trucking, maintenance, and repair have higher risks of TBIs, due to the presence of heavy equipment and elevated workspaces.

Frequently Asked Questions for Our Bridgeport Injury Lawyers
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim After a Traumatic Brain Injury?
While your injuries may make it difficult to manage a legal claim, prompt legal action is crucial if you want to secure damages. Under CT Gen Stat § 52-584, you must typically file a lawsuit within two years of the date you were injured.
This timeframe can vary, so you may have less time to file depending on your case information. We can help you understand which deadlines apply and make sure your case is filed timely.
How Is a Traumatic Brain Injury Diagnosed?
A TBI is diagnosed through a combination of physical exams, neurological assessments, and imaging tests. Doctors may use CT scans or MRIs to detect bleeding, bruising, or swelling in the brain. They also evaluate symptoms like memory loss, confusion, headaches, and changes in behavior.
In some cases, neuropsychological testing is used to assess cognitive function. Because some TBIs may not appear on imaging, detailed symptom tracking and medical history are critical to a proper diagnosis.
What Makes Traumatic Brain Injury Claims So Challenging?
TBI claims are often complex, and injury complications can make it difficult for the victim to think clearly and advocate for themselves. Traumatic brain injury complications may include:
- Difficulty concentrating
- Memory issues
- Diminished problem-solving skills
- Headaches, dizziness, and fatigue
- Sensory and balance issues
- Emotional and social difficulties
- Sleep disruptions
Victims of TBI often require long-term treatment and care, resulting in high medical expenses, lost income, and other damages. Since insurance companies aim to protect their profits, an adjuster may take advantage of your confusion and disability to diminish or deny a TBI settlement.
Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC’s compassionate TBI attorneys understand the unique challenges you are facing. We are here to advocate for your legal rights with stubborn insurance carriers, while you focus on recovering your health.
