Key Takeaways

Brain injuries are a result of a sudden blow, bump, or jolt to the head Even mild brain injuries can have lasting consequences. The statute of limitations for a brain injury case is two years after the injury. You can pursue compensation if your TBI was a result of someone’s negligence or actions

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can completely derail the course of a life. From everyday independence to dreams of the future, the abilities of victims of TBI are often compromised by the long-term physical and cognitive effects of their injury.

When you or a loved one experience such a devastating injury, it can justifiably cause feelings of indignation, especially if the TBI was the preventable result of someone else’s negligence or actions. The TBI lawyers at Breit Biniazan will help you direct your feelings and our fierce advocacy towards those who deserve it. Together, we’ll help you receive fair compensation so that you can build your new life.

If you or a loved one experienced a TBI as a result of someone’s actions or negligence, we can help. Call (855) 659-4457 for a free and confidential consultation.

What Is a Brain Injury?

Our brains are our most complex, and arguably most important, organ. Despite being protected by our skull, they are also incredibly sensitive. So when there is a sudden blow, bump, or jolt to the head, or when the skull is penetrated, it can easily result in an injury to the brain.

Because the brain is integral to our lives, even a mild brain injury can have lasting impacts on our ability to live independently. More severe traumatic brain injuries can lead to disabilities, coma, or even death.

Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injuries

If you understand the immediate symptoms of a TBI, you will be able to react quickly to get the appropriate medical attention. Some symptoms are more long-term and may affect the victim for the rest of their lives.

Symptoms can range dramatically depending on the injury, but commonly include:

  • Loss of consciousness
  • Nausea
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Vision or hearing problems
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Speech problems
  • Fatigue
  • Amnesia
  • Issues concentrating
  • Behavioral changes
  • Memory problems
  • Language/speech problems
  • Balance problems
  • Sensory/smell problems
  • Seizures
  • Cognitive difficulties

Types of Traumatic Brain Injury

TBI can range from mild concussions to life-threatening injuries. Brain injuries are difficult to spot or diagnose with the naked eye, and they can escalate quickly.

There are two main categories of traumatic brain injury:

  • Closed brain injury: These injuries occur when the skull is not penetrated. The brain is instead injured when it is shaken against the skull, resulting in bruising or tearing.
  • Penetrating brain injury: These injuries occur when the skull is penetrated, damaging the delicate brain within.

There are many different types of injuries that can occur within these two categories, ranging in severity and consequence. A small selection of these injuries include:

  • Concussions
  • Hematoma
  • Edema
  • Hemorrhage
  • Diffuse axonal injury
  • Skull fracture
  • Hypoxic and anoxic brain injuries
  • Brain ischemia

Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

TBIs can occur in what would normally be considered safe activities, especially if those around us aren’t paying attention or are negligent in their responsibilities resulting in an accident.

Common causes of TBI include:

Statute of Limitations for TBI

The statute of limitations refers to the amount of time a victim has to file a claim after an injury. According to section 8.01-243 of the Code of Virginia, those who experience TBI have up to two years from the date of their injury to file a claim. This is also true for family members of those who died as a result of a TBI. There are exceptions for children, who may have longer to file.

Damages Awarded for TBI

While TBI may begin as a physical injury, the consequences can be mental, emotional, and financial. The law accounts for these varying effects of TBI, and if you or a loved one experienced a TBI as a result of someone’s negligence or actions, you can pursue compensation.

Identifying which damages apply to your case is complex, but it is easily navigated with the help of a TBI attorney like those at Breit Biniazan.

Damages awarded may include:

  • Special damages, which account for the economic costs of a brain injury, like medical bills or lost wages
  • Future damages, which accommodate for the long-term costs of a permanent disability caused by a brain injury
  • Compensatory damages, which compensate for pain and suffering caused by a TBI
  • Hedonic damages, which account for the loss of your former quality of life
  • Punitive damages, which may be pursued when the negligent party’s reckless behavior led to your TBI

Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuits FAQs

Why should I hire an experienced traumatic brain injury attorney?

As with all personal injuries, in a TBI case, you need to prove that a person’s negligence or actions led to your injury and damages. Because TBI are difficult to diagnose or measure, it can be hard to prove the guilty party’s role in your injury. On top of that, TBI can affect your memory, speech, and other facilities that would help you communicate about your injuries in a case. Navigating all of these difficult factors requires the legal expertise of traumatic brain injury attorneys like those at Breit Biniazan.

Why do I need a lawyer who has handled brain injury cases in the past?

Brain injury cases are complex and difficult to prove, requiring not only knowledge of the law but also an understanding of brain injuries, their causes, and the long-term consequences. Our experienced lawyers understand these different aspects of a TBI case because we’ve fought—and won—these cases before. We also understand when to tap into the knowledge of experts, and we have a wide network of medical and investigative professionals ready to help.

What is the most common type of mild brain injury?

Concussions are the most common type of mild brain injury, accounting for three out of every four TBI. However, concussions should be taken seriously because one concussion makes the victim more susceptible to others, and their cumulative damage can cause brain damage.

After I hit my head, the emergency room sent me home, and now I feel even worse. What should I do?

Brain injuries are difficult to diagnose or measure, and symptoms may continue to evolve for days following the injury. If your symptoms continue to worsen, instead of improve, return to the ER.

Cobi M.

"Throughout 2019 and 2020 Attorney Kevin Biniazan helped me with a personal injury case. Aside from the professionalism and attentiveness one would expect from a quality law firm such as Breit Cantor Grana Buckner, I was taken by the fact that they agreed to take my case on a contingency basis, even though there was little evidence in my favor in the early stages of preparation. This meant the world to me. It meant that they believed in me, and my case, when two other firms declined to take the case. In late 2020 the case settled out of court and I received a substantial monetary award that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Kevin, and all your support staff for believing in me when many others did not!!!!"

Markgerszewski

Scott S.

"My experience with Breit Biniazan and his team was very positive. They were very helpful, were always available, took time to explain the process, and answer any questions I had. A special thanks to Kellie for all her support and efforts. I always felt she was on my side and looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Binazan and his team and would not hesitate to use their services should the need arise."

Mark T.

"Michael Collett represented us in our suit, and he was incredible. He made quick, efficient work of getting our case positively resolved while also making sure to keep us updated along the way. We recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury suit.

Our suit had dragged on for five years, and we wondered if it would ever be finished. Once Mike was handed our case, he immediately got to work getting to know us and understanding the timeline of events. Additionally, as a prior military member, he understood that our case was not a traditional cut-and-dry lawsuit: our life continued while the company dragged it out in court, including PCSing overseas and then back to the US during COVID. This kind of personal understanding and attention to detail was instrumental to our case. Mike's background, compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism made the difference; without him, we could have had a very different outcome.

If you are in need of any representation for a personal injury suit, I highly recommend Michael and his colleagues."

Kim V.

"I'm an attorney in Nebraska and represented a Nebraska family who lost their son/brother due to an electrocution on a job site in Virginia. After handling the workers' compensation claim in Nebraska, I reached out to multiple law firms in Virginia, ultimately co-counseling with Kevin Biniazan on the Virginia third party claims. He worked the case up, secured experts, and ultimately tried the case to a jury. Kevin and his team did a fantastic job presenting the case, arguing points of law, and overall just demonstrated that they had put extraordinary time and effort into preparing the case for trial. They secured a 7-figure recovery on tough facts and were great to work with along the way. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm."

Aaron B.

"I give Kevin Biniazan and his team the highest rating I can. I had a case in Va Beach a few years ago, called a few attorneys but ended up going with Kevin because of the knowledge and compassion he showed. After telling Kevin my issue, he and his team did all the work. They took the time to listen to my concerns and feelings, they were informative and available at all times. Along with the success of my case, Kevin and his team gave me the opportunity and support I needed to begin healing. I couldn’t recommend enough!"

Brit T.

"Outstanding service! My case lasted approximately 2 years, the staff was more than patient with me and the multiple questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to all."

Donald B.

"I was injured in a motorcycle accident with a car driver and refered to Breit Biniazan by a second lawfirm from my home state. They were professional and got me through one of the most painful times in my life. I simply gave them what they needed and they took care of the rest, getting me proper compensation for my pain and suffering."

Kurtis P.

"I took a chance on this firm from a recommendation and I couldn’t be happier with their work and the results of my case. Kellie and Nilda are pure gold! Kellie kept me appraised of everything that was going on, timely and answered all my questions and concerns. I followed a recommendation; trust me, Breit Biniazan is the very best!"

Ally A.

"Kevin, Kylee and his team are the best in the business! They are the most trustworthy,hardworking,dedicated, honest, and morally outstanding people I've had the pleasure of knowing."

Craig M.

"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Beasley and Ms. Jennings. I was unfortunately involved in multiple crashes that I was a victim of and sought their firm, Breit Biniazan for help with medical bills and other issues. They worked with me for well over a year, coming to a successful resolution for my cases. They are incredibly passionate about their job and getting to an outcome desired for their plaintiffs. I would recommend their firm for any cases you may have, no questions asked."

Zach H.

"I’ve never been in a lawsuit, nor have I been to court, or had anything dealing with legal matter so all of this was pretty new to me, and 9/10 it was scary & heart racing. The only reason I got through it is because of Kevin. If it wasn’t for him with his patience, his commitment to his client, or the will to go the distance I never would’ve had confidence in any of this legal stuff. 10/10 recommend Breit Biniazan."

Tyler B.

"Kept me informed of the entire process. Offered advice on how to proceed."

Kenneth P.

"Fantastic team! Kevin is an amazing attorney who comes through on his word. Kylee and the team of paralegals went above and beyond to help me understand what we should expect in the case. I highly recommend Kevin’s team to anyone who is not only in need of a legal team, but one who will get them what they deserve!"

Angelica S.

"Kevin and his team worked tirelessly to help us secure the best possible outcome for an incredibly difficult situation. They were supportive and attentive to our needs, walked us through the process step by step and fought hard for us. I would highly recommend Breit Biniazan for all of your legal needs."

Carmen A.

"Following a motor vehicle accident, I needed assistance with handling insurance issues and was referred to Breit Biniazan for their expertise. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Alexis Meier and her paralegal Molisa Gardner. They managed my case with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and thoroughness.

As a physician, I am aware that some law firms may try to enhance settlements by recommending excessive consultations, imaging studies, and other tests, as well as extensive therapy. However, Alexis and Molisa ensured that I received the necessary care without subjecting me to unnecessary tests or treatments. I found their approach to be both ethical and professional.

I wholeheartedly endorse Breit Biniazan and recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation."

Andrew D.

"Alexis Meier is an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and highly effective. She handled my case with efficiency, care, and compassion, ensuring everything was managed seamlessly. Her team was equally impressive, always responsive and prompt in their communication. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, and I highly recommend Alexis and her team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation."
