Traumatic Brain Injury

Truck Wreck Justice: Ready to Handle Your Traumatic Brain Injury Case

At Truck Wreck Justice, representing injured truck drivers is a crucial aspect of our practice. Each year, many skilled and responsible truckers are forced off the road due to negligence, whether from trucking companies or other big rig drivers. The U.S. shipping industry depends on these “knights of the road,” and everyone suffers when a major truck collision prevents them from working. We advocate for these victims, helping them recover compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and ongoing complications from injuries sustained in preventable crashes caused by negligent actions.

We Fight for Brain Injury Victims

Truck Wreck Justice Attorney Morgan Adams has both the resources and experience necessary to handle even the most complex trucking accident cases, including those involving traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). If you or a loved one has suffered a serious brain injury in a truck or bus accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Contact the Truck Wreck Justice team immediately for a free case assessment from an experienced truck accident lawyer.

Truck Accidents and TBIs

Trucking accidents can be extremely devastating due to the powerful collision forces involved. Victims often suffer severe, life-altering brain injuries that may leave them unable to care for themselves or manage daily tasks.

Unfortunately, diagnostic tests like MRIs or CT scans sometimes fail to detect brain damage—even when there has been significant trauma. In such cases, the only indicators of injury may be the symptoms experienced by the victim.

TBI Signs and Symptoms

Traumatic brain injuries occur when impacts or violent movements jar the brain. Extreme incidents, such as trucking accidents, can cause the brain to crash against the inside of the skull, resulting in bruising, tearing of brain tissue, and bleeding within the brain. This bleeding can increase pressure in the skull, leading to further brain damage.

Because the brain is highly complex and governs much of our personality and physical health, brain injuries can have wide-ranging symptoms—particularly in cases involving severe trauma.

If someone you care about is experiencing any of these symptoms after a collision with a large truck or bus, it is important to contact an experienced trucking accident attorney as soon as possible. They can begin investigating your case promptly. Even if doctors have performed tests but found no brain damage so far, your loved one may still be suffering from a serious brain injury.

Possible symptoms of a TBI include:

• Loss of consciousness lasting minutes or hours

• Clear fluid draining from the nose or ears

• Headaches

• Nausea and vomiting

• Seizures or convulsions

• Weakness or numbness in the limbs

• Trouble sleeping (insomnia) or excessive sleepiness (hypersomnia), as well as difficulty waking

• Poor coordination and impaired reflexes

• Confusion and disorientation

• Slurred speech

• Sudden changes in personality or mood (e.g., irritability or anger)

• Anxiety, depression, or a sense of impending doom

SUPER ATTORNEY
Mr. Petri handled a personal injury case for me several years ago. His investigators gathered the relevant evidence within hours after the accident. He fought like a tiger for me, and the insurance company settled shortly after he presented the evidence. Vern and his team did a super job.. I could not have been more satisfied. On another occasion I consulted with him involving a matter related to an estate. He solved my problem quickly, and a his fee was more than reasonable for his professional advice. I also worked for Mr. Petri as an expert witness with respect to economic damages from 1975 to 2005. I can testify that he is one of the best advocates a plaintiff can hire. He will take high risk cases that most other attorneys would not consider taking. By using the investigative skills he developed in the U.S. Army Intelligence Service, I have seen him uncover evidence that resulted in very large settlements and verdicts for his clients. I worked for Mr. Petri on two of those high risk cases that I believe no attorney in America could have done better for his clients. I recommend him without reservations to anyone seeking a plaintiff’s attorney.

We Can not explain how blessed we are to have found Mr Petri ! My husband has sustained a lifelong injury due to malpractice. Mr Petri worked extremely hard non stop getting all the evidence he needed to get the case handled. It was constantly evolving with roadbumps from the other end but he never gave up. He always stayed in touch even if it was to just call & see how we were doing. He has a sincere heart for helping people….We are beyond blessed with the outcome… We gained so much more than just a lawyer in Mr Petri. He is our blessing, our Hero!

Thank you, Mr. Petri!
After falling at the casino and breaking my shoulder, I went through weeks and weeks of pain. I contacted Vern because I wanted the casino to be held liable. Vern immediately sent me to a specialist, and that doctor was able to help me more with my pain than any other doctors I saw before that! Vern also sued the company at fault and I am really satisfied with the outcome. The case was quick, and Mr. Petri handled it very professionally. I’ve had other attorneys before for other legal issues, but Vern was by far the best one. I was impressed that he was willing to help solve my medical problems as well as my legal problems. Thank you, Mr. Petri!
