In the state of Arizona, the statute of limitations for victims of traumatic brain injuries is typically two years from the date the accident happened. Waiting too long to file could cost you the ability to pursue any legal claim against the at-fault party, which in turn also costs you the ability to pursue compensation.
There are certain exceptions to this time limit. You may be asked to file sooner or later. For instance, if you did not discover that you had a TBI until a later date, the filing date would not begin until you discovered or should have reasonably discovered your injury. Minors who sustain a TBI have two years from the date they turn 18 years old to take legal action. Again, this time limit will depend on a case-by-case basis.
Every TBI is different, but some of the most common types of brain trauma include the following:
These happen due to a direct blow or violent jolt to the head. Concussions may cause victims to suffer serious impairments for the rest of their lives. Generally, you lose consciousness for a brief moment or feel dazed. However, it could take months to years to fully recover.
These happen due to a significant impact to the head that results in a bruise or brain bleed. Certain contusions may require surgery to stop the bleeding.
These injuries happen due to a violent impact to the brain that causes the brain to hit the other side of the skull. Symptoms are immediately apparent and recovery time can be long.
These injuries happen due to a strong shake to the head that causes significant tearing of the nerve tissue within the brain. Victims can suffer from serious functional impairments, temporary or permanent damage to the brain, or death.
If an object penetrates the brain and skull, victims can suffer from a severe brain bleed, blood clots, lack of oxygen to the brain or death.
Traumatic brain injuries also have varying degrees or levels that range from mild to severe:
TBIs are often the result of certain kinds of accidents and incidents:
These situations can lead to a number of traumatic brain injury symptoms, including:
