Most people who sustain more than one blow to the head are athletes exposed to concussions through contact sports like football, hockey, and boxing. However, this can happen to you even if you are not a professional.
Regardless of the reason, it is crucial to identify the at-fault party and hold them accountable for their actions. These types of injuries can lead to severe physical damage and high medical expenses.

Repeated concussion syndrome is another name for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). This is a form of dementia triggered by brain change after repeated concussions, which are mild forms of TBIs.
A definitive CTE diagnosis is only confirmed during an autopsy, but medical progress now links it to the following symptoms:
CTE can happen to you or your child in Sacramento after multiple traumatic brain injury accidents. Speaking with legal counsel after this harm is essential for securing compensation.
If someone acts negligently, causing you multiple TBIs, you are entitled to damages for your losses. Negligence is based on a duty to act responsibly, which is breached when someone causes an accident in which you suffer a TBI.
Your long-term prognosis can mean expensive CTE treatment and a prolonged recovery involving recurring headaches, balance issues, memory loss, and problems with concentration.
You are also at risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s. An attorney must factor these risks into a suitable insurance settlement or damages award by a jury. It is never just an accident; it is your future.
Economic and non-economic damages are the two forms of compensation available to TBI survivors. Economic damages can be calculated, such as your current and future medical bills and lost wages, while non-economic damages are subjective, placing a dollar amount on pain, suffering, and the loss of enjoyment of life.
According to California Civil Code § 3294, you may be entitled to punitive damages if the defendant is malicious or oppressive in their actions. This could include intentionally causing harm to a plaintiff, such as an assault.
The goal of punitive damages is to punish the defendant for their egregious actions and prevent similar behavior in the future. A Sacramento lawyer could discuss a multiple TBI accident case to determine if punitive damages are appropriate.
