If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury in Purcell, Oklahoma, the team at McKay Law is prepared to fight relentlessly for the answers and compensation your family deserves.
What Traumatic Brain Injuries Really Mean
Traumatic brain injury, commonly called TBI, results from an external impact damaging the brain—whether from a blow, jolt, penetrating wound, or violent shaking. Brain injuries are often called “invisible injuries” because the damage isn’t always visible from the outside. Yet the effects are entirely real, frequently lifelong, and deeply life-altering for survivors and their families.
Brain injuries span the spectrum from mild concussions to catastrophic damage causing permanent unconsciousness. Even “minor” concussions can cause persistent problems—a reality insurers consistently try to minimize.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Purcell
Brain injuries can result from countless preventable circumstances. McKay Law handles Purcell brain injury cases caused by:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents including high-speed crashes and rear-end collisions
- Falls on dangerous property due to neglected premises
- On-the-job and energy sector incidents prevalent throughout Oklahoma’s industries
- Construction site accidents involving falls, falling objects, or equipment strikes
- Athletic and recreational accidents from defective gear or inadequate oversight
- Assaults and acts of violence including incidents on negligently secured property
- Healthcare negligence such as anesthesia errors or surgical mistakes that deprive the brain of oxygen
- Obstetric negligence caused by negligent prenatal or delivery care
- Defective products including helmet defects, airbag malfunctions, or faulty vehicle components
- Drowning and near-drowning incidents resulting in hypoxic brain injury
Categories of Brain Injuries in Our Cases
Brain injuries vary widely in nature and severity, and proving the full extent of harm requires understanding the medicine. We handle cases that include:
- Mild traumatic brain injuries including post-concussion syndrome
- Brain bruising that cause swelling and tissue damage
- Diffuse axonal injuries resulting from rapid acceleration-deceleration
- Coup-contrecoup injuries damage on both sides of the brain
- Brain injuries from foreign objects when an object breaches the skull and brain
- Oxygen deprivation injuries resulting from oxygen loss to brain tissue
- Cumulative concussion injury caused by an additional blow before the initial concussion resolves
- Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) caused by accumulated head impacts over time
Signs and Symptoms of Brain Injury
TBI symptoms often don’t appear immediately, and some develop or worsen in the days and weeks after the trauma. Common symptoms 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
- Mood swings, irritability, depression, or anxiety
- Disrupted sleep patterns, whether insomnia or oversleeping
- Seizure activity
- Periods of unconsciousness, however short
- Personality differences that family often recognize before the injured person does
If you notice any of these signs following an accident, get medical care right away and keep thorough records—your recovery and your claim both depend on it.
The Lifetime Cost of a Brain Injury
TBIs rank among the costliest injuries any person can endure. 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. Recovery often requires:
- ER procedures and ICU treatment
- Extended hospital stays and inpatient rehab
- Therapy for thinking, movement, daily living, and communication
- Mental health treatment and psychiatric support
- In-home nursing, attendant care, or assisted living
- Medications and medical equipment
- Adaptive changes to home environments
- Job retraining or permanent disability supports
Insurers consistently attempt to undervalue brain injury claims. At McKay Law, we work with neurologists, neuropsychologists, life care planners, and economists to document every dollar of harm—now and into the future.
