Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries and Wrongful Deaths in NYC
Vehicle accidents are the most common causes of TBIs. A person may sustain a brain trauma in a car accident in several ways. In some instances, they suffer harm when their head strikes another object, like the windshield or steering wheel of a vehicle. However, a TBI may also result from whiplash. Sudden acceleration/deceleration causes the head to move in such a way that harm can occur.
It’s also worth noting that TBIs often occur when the brain tissue is harmed. This does not need to occur during the accident itself. Sometimes, the brain tissue begins to bleed and/or swell following an accident. This can still result in injury.
It’s not uncommon for victims that suffer from traumatic brain injuries to experience temporary or permanent impairment of key brain functions. This can result in varying degrees of debilitation. Additionally, some TBI’s deprive the brain of oxygen for extended periods of time. As a result, brain cells begin to die off. The consequences of these “anoxic brain injuries” may be life-threatening.
Some groups are more likely than others to be susceptible to TBIs. According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, the groups most at risk are children under the age of 4 years old, adolescents between the ages of 15 and 19, and elderly people.
Common situations that lead to TBI’s include:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents
- Slip and Falls
- Intentional Assault & Battery
- Medical Malpractice
- Construction Accidents

What Our Clients Say
“My sister had a bad surgery done and it caused her severe brain damage. We contacted Rothenberg after other lawyers told us “we had no case”. They were knowledgeable and guided us through the whole process. We filed for damages and were able to get her care and treatment post surgery fully covered."
"I remember finding out about my accident after waking up from a coma and trying to find a lawyer to help me. I called the Rothenberg law firm and they were the only ones who picked up the phone. I was in such disarray that I signed up with them on the spot because I didn't know what else to do and it turned out to be the best decision I could’ve made. They helped me recover my losses and more, which amounted to a very high figure amount. After relearning to walk and doing hundreds of hours of physical therapy I feel like I’m in a much better place because of the right law firm that didn’t just help me financially but guided me in the right directions toward physical recovery."
