Do I Have a Traumatic Brain Injury Case?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) isn't like other injuries. Symptoms may not appear for days or weeks. Recovery can be slow, unpredictable, and expensive. When a head injury changes your life, TSR makes sure the insurance company can't dismiss it. TSR Injury Law has recovered more than $1 billion for injured Minnesotans—including $600,000 for a client who suffered a TBI in a rear-end crash, handled by Partner Rich Ruohonen.

Most TBI claims come down to one thing: negligence. To bring a claim, we need to show:

  • A duty of care: the at-fault party had a responsibility to act safely.
  • A breach: they failed to act reasonably (speeding, inattention, unsafe conditions, defective product, etc.).
  • Causation: their actions directly caused the head injury.
  • Damages: medical bills, symptoms, lost wages, or other losses.

TBIs can happen in car crashes, falls, workplace accidents, assaults, and incidents involving dangerous or defective products. Even "mild" injuries like concussions can qualify if they affect your ability to live or work normally.

If you’re unsure—that’s normal. TSR sorts this out for you during a free consultation.

Review My Case

What Is My TBI Case Worth?

There’s no fixed number, because every brain injury affects life differently. If we take your case, we work to recover compensation that may include:

  • Past, current, and future medical treatment
  • Hospitalization and surgical costs
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Assistive equipment
  • Prescription medications
  • Transportation to medical appointments
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of companionship (for spouses and families)

TBIs often require long-term care. TSR works with doctors, neurologists, and specialists to understand your prognosis and build a case that reflects the full impact of your injury – not just the immediate bills.


Why Hire a Lawyer for a TBI Claim?

Brain injury cases are complex. Symptoms can be subtle. Insurance companies fight hard to downplay them. If we represent you, TSR Injury Law:

1. Works with medical specialists
Neurologists, neuropsychologists, rehabilitation experts, and life-care planners help document the long-term effects of a TBI and tie them back to the accident.

2. Collects and organizes your medical records
We handle the paperwork, track your providers, and build the medical timeline insurers need to see.

3. Gathers all available evidence
Photos, video, witness statements, crash reports, product failures, scene details—anything that strengthens your claim.

4. Deals with the insurance company
You don’t have to argue with adjusters. We protect your claim from being minimized or denied.

5. Negotiates for a fair settlement
If the insurance company lowballs you—and they usually do—we push back with a full accounting of your losses.


How Long Do I Have to File a TBI Claim?

In Minnesota, most traumatic brain injury cases have a two-year statute of limitations, but there are exceptions. Cases involving minors, hidden injuries, or special circumstances may have more time – or less.

If you’re unsure whether your window is closing, contact TSR. The sooner we review your case, the better we can protect your rights.


Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

TBIs often result from:

  • Car accidents
  • Falls
  • Being struck by or against an object
  • Assaults
  • Dangerous property conditions
  • Defective products
  • Medical errors
  • Oxygen deprivation incidents

Any forceful impact or rapid movement of the head can cause injury – even without a direct hit to the skull.


TBI Symptoms to Watch For

According to the Minnesota Brain Injury Alliance, symptoms may include:

  • Memory loss
  • Confusion or difficulty thinking
  • Sensitivity to light or sound
  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Personality or behavior changes
  • Communication problems
  • Motor difficulty or reduced coordination
  • Vision changes
  • Seizures
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control
  • Depression or anxiety

Some symptoms appear immediately. Many show up days or weeks later. Getting medical care early strengthens both your health and your legal claim.


Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Cerebral Anoxia (Lack of Oxygen)
Occurs when the brain receives no oxygen for several minutes. Can be caused by near-drowning, carbon monoxide poisoning, anesthesia errors, birth complications, or severe blood loss. Damage can be permanent.

Concussions
One of the most common TBIs – caused by trauma or rapid movement of the head. Not all concussions cause loss of consciousness. Repeated concussions increase the risk of long-term complications.

Subdural Hematoma
Bleeding on the surface of the brain caused by torn veins. Symptoms may take days or weeks to show up and can be life-threatening without treatment.

Post-Concussion Syndrome
Ongoing symptoms from a previous concussion lasting weeks, months, or years. Often includes headaches, dizziness, anxiety, sleep problems, and cognitive difficulties.
