Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are among the most devastating injuries a person can sustain, often resulting in life-altering consequences that affect every aspect of daily living.

Our catastrophic injury attorneys will ensure you understand all of your legal options.
What Are Common Causes of TBIs?
TBIs occur when an external force causes damage to the brain, disrupting normal brain function. Many TBIs that lead to personal injury claims result from preventable accidents caused by negligence:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes are leading causes of TBIs. The violent impact can cause the brain to strike the inside of the skull, resulting in contusions, hemorrhaging, or diffuse axonal injury, even when no external head wounds are visible.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises. Falls on wet floors, uneven surfaces, inadequate lighting, or poorly maintained staircases can cause serious head injuries, particularly among elderly victims.
Workplace Accidents
Construction sites, warehouses, and industrial facilities present numerous TBI risks. Falling objects, scaffolding collapses, equipment malfunctions, and falls from heights frequently cause severe brain injuries to workers.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
When vehicles strike pedestrians or cyclists, the victim’s head often hits the pavement or vehicle, causing catastrophic brain damage. Even helmets cannot always protect against TBIs.
Defective Products
Malfunctioning safety equipment, defective helmets, or dangerous consumer products can malfunction and directly cause brain trauma. Products might also fail to protect users from head injuries.
Our attorneys in New Brunswick can handle brain injury claims arising from any of these accidents. We use evidence to prove liability and damages, seeking compensation for all the economic and non-economic effects of your injury.
Potential Compensation Available in a TBI Claim
TBI cases involve complex medical evidence and substantial damages that require experienced legal representation. At Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq in New Brunswick, our attorneys fight to recover full compensation for all losses associated with your brain trauma, including:
- Medical expenses: Past and future costs, including emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, medication, rehabilitation, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognitive therapy, assistive devices, home modifications, and long-term care
- Lost income and earning capacity: Compensation for wages lost during recovery and diminished future earning potential if the TBI prevents you from working or returning to your previous occupation
- Pain and suffering: Non-economic damages for physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and reduced quality of life caused by the brain injury
- Loss of consortium: Compensation for the impact on relationships with spouses and family members who have lost companionship, support, and intimacy due to the injury
- Disability and disfigurement: Additional damages for permanent disabilities, cognitive impairments, or physical changes resulting from the TBI
- Punitive damages: Damages to punish wrongdoers and deter similar behavior, specifically in cases involving particularly reckless or intentional conduct
Insurance companies try to minimize the impact of a TBI since the effects vary widely and are largely invisible. However, our brain injury lawyers understand the value of a TBI claim and will seek maximum compensation for financial and intangible losses.
