Causes of Brain Injuries in Tacoma Accidents
Traumatic brain injuries can occur under a wide range of situations and accidents. Some of the most common causes of brain injuries we see in the Tacoma area include:
- Motor Vehicle Collisions: Car, motorcycle, truck, and pedestrian accidents are a frequent source of TBIs. Low-speed collisions can also cause severe head trauma.
- Falls: Slipping, tripping, and falling on unsafe properties–commercial or residential–can cause serious head trauma.
- Workplace Injuries: Construction jobs and factory/manufacturing working environments are high-risk settings for head injuries, most commonly in the form of falling from heights or hitting one’s head with machinery.
If your brain injury was due to another’s negligence, carelessness, or intentional harm, we are here to help you hold them accountable. Don’t see the cause of your injury on this list? Don’t worry. We can still work to understand the facts of your case and build you a strong personal injury claim.
Symptoms and Signs of a Traumatic Brain Injury

- Headache or migraine
- Dizziness or loss of balance
- Memory loss or confusion
- Personality changes or mood swings
- Sleep disturbances
- Sensitivity to light or sound

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms after an accident, call a doctor immediately. Then, contact a Tacoma brain injury lawyer at Lerner and Rowe to talk about your options.
