If a brain injury has affected you or someone close to you in Edmond, Oklahoma, McKay Law stands ready to pursue justice, accountability, and the recovery you need.
Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries
TBIs occur when an outside force injures the brain—whether through impact, sudden motion, penetration, or severe shaking. Brain injuries are often called “invisible injuries” because the damage isn’t always visible from the outside. But the consequences are very real, often lifelong, and frequently devastating to both the survivor and their family.
Brain injuries span the spectrum from mild concussions to catastrophic damage causing permanent unconsciousness. Even injuries labeled “mild” can lead to long-term symptoms—a fact insurance companies routinely try to ignore.
How Brain Injuries Happen in Edmond
Brain injuries can result from countless preventable circumstances. Our firm takes on Edmond brain injury claims arising from:
- Auto, semi-truck, and motorcycle wrecks including high-speed crashes and rear-end collisions
- Slip and fall accidents on poorly maintained property
- Workplace and oilfield accidents prevalent throughout Oklahoma’s industries
- Construction site accidents caused by falls from height, dropped objects, or machinery
- Athletic and recreational accidents from defective gear or inadequate oversight
- Violent attacks including incidents on negligently secured property
- Healthcare negligence involving anesthesia failures or operating room mistakes that cause hypoxic brain damage
- Obstetric negligence due to substandard prenatal monitoring or delivery practices
- Defective products such as defective protective gear, airbag failures, or auto component defects
- Near-drowning events that cause oxygen deprivation to the brain
Brain Injury Types Our Firm Represents
TBIs come in many forms, and proving the full extent of harm requires understanding the medicine. Our team has experience with cases involving:
- Mild traumatic brain injuries and the lasting symptoms of post-concussion syndrome
- Cerebral contusions bruising of the brain tissue
- Widespread nerve fiber damage caused by violent shaking or rotational forces
- Coup-contrecoup trauma involving injury at the impact site and the opposite side
- Open head injuries from objects piercing the skull
- Brain damage from lack of oxygen when the brain is deprived of oxygen
- Repeat concussion syndrome caused by an additional blow before the initial concussion resolves
- CTE from repeated head trauma caused by accumulated head impacts over time
Signs and Symptoms of Brain Injury
Signs of brain injury can be delayed or subtle, and some develop or worsen in the days and weeks after the trauma. Typical warning signs include:
- Headaches, dizziness, or loss of balance
- Mental fog, forgetfulness, or concentration difficulties
- Queasiness, sickness, or intolerance of bright lights and loud sounds
- Difficulty speaking clearly or finding the right words
- Sudden mood changes, frustration, sadness, or anxious feelings
- Disrupted sleep patterns, whether insomnia or oversleeping
- Seizure activity
- Periods of unconsciousness, however short
- Behavioral shifts often spotted first by loved ones
If any of these symptoms emerge after an incident, see a doctor without delay and document each one—both your wellbeing and your legal rights hinge on it.
How Brain Injuries Affect a Lifetime
Few injuries are as financially devastating as brain injuries. Lifetime medical costs can reach into the millions of dollars, and that doesn’t account for lost income, the cost of caregiving, or the loss of quality of life. Long-term care frequently includes:
- Initial surgical intervention and critical care
- Long-term hospitalization and inpatient rehabilitation
- Therapy for thinking, movement, daily living, and communication
- Psychological counseling and psychiatric care
- In-home nursing, attendant care, or assisted living
- Prescription drugs and medical devices
- Renovations to make the home accessible
- Career rehabilitation or accommodations for lasting impairment
Insurance carriers regularly try to lowball the actual cost of a TBI. We collaborate with top neurologists, neuropsychologists, life care planners, and forensic economists to establish the complete cost of your injury, today and over your lifetime.
