Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney

Traumatic Brain Injury Accident Lawyer, Lawsuits & Settlements in Washington State

If traumatic brain injury results from an accident you may need the assistance of a traumatic brain injury attorney. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates at least 5.3 million Americans have a long-term need for help to perform activities of daily living as a result of a head injury or traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Traumatic brain injury, head injuries, and brain damage can cause a wide range of functional changes affecting thinking, sensation, language and emotions. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) from accidents such as motor vehicle collisions is the most common cause of seizure disorders and epilepsy. It doesn’t matter whether the initial injury to the brain was mild, moderate or severe, any brain injury can result in these conditions. The repercussions can affect all aspects of life from school to social situations to work. Because traumatic brain injuries are serious and may last a lifetime, it is important to contact an attorney who concentrates his/her practice in representing persons who suffer from brain injuries.

Washington State Brain Injury Law

brain injury accident attorney seattle washington

In May 2007 House Bill (HB) 2055 was signed by Washington state Governor Christine Gregoire creating a new law which focuses on helping survivors of traumatic brain injury and those that care for them. In large part the new law pays attention to the struggles of traumatic brain injury (TBI) victims suffer each day and the general lack of specialized services to assist them.

“SECTION 1......Traumatic brain injury can cause a wide range of functional changes affecting thinking, sensation, language, or emotions. It can also cause epilepsy and increase the risk for conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other brain disorders that become more prevalent with age. The impact of a traumatic brain injury on the individual and family can be devastating.

In creating this law the legislature demonstrated that it recognizes that existing programs and services were not well funded. The legislature decided to develop a comprehensive plan to “help individuals with traumatic brain injuries meet their needs.”

Washington State's Brain Injury Law has three main parts
1. Creation of an advisory council
2. Public Awareness Campaign by December 1, 2007
3. Traumatic Brain Injury Account
See Chapter 74.31 of the RCW - Traumatic Brain Injuries
