Definition of a Traumatic Brain Injury
When brain function is disrupted by a blow to the head, the victim has suffered a traumatic brain injury. While there are many different brain injury diagnoses, they are generally classified as one of two kinds of injuries:
Closed Head Injuries
When the blow to the head does not penetrate the skull, or the head is shaken so much that it causes injury, it is called a closed head injury. In severe cases, the brain is knocked against the skull, causing lifelong cognitive problems.
Open Head Injuries
If the skull is pierced with an object, it can cause the brain to bleed and do significant damage. Individuals who suffer these injuries often have a higher fatality rate than those who suffer closed head injuries.
One of the problems with attempting to diagnose the damage done by an open head injury is that the object that pierced the skull may be metal. If that is the case, the victim cannot go into an MRI machine because the magnets in the MRI machine would pull on the object.
Signs of a Brain Injury
When a person suffers from a traumatic brain injury, it is not always obvious. They may feel fine at first and then begin to suffer different symptoms. Some of the symptoms and signs of a traumatic brain injury include:
- Dizziness
- Loss of consciousness
- Confusion
- Sudden aggressive behavior
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Sudden speech issues
- Difficulty seeing clearly
- Random and painful migraines
- Loss of memory
- Lost sleep
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Trouble walking
- Seizures
- Tinnitus
These are some signs to be aware of after getting into an accident or being attacked by someone. When experiencing even just one of these symptoms, it is important to get checked out at the hospital for possible brain injuries. Medical professionals can perform different tests and scans to find out what is going on.
The more severe the symptoms, the more likely you have a severe brain injury. However, if left untreated, it is possible a minor brain injury could get much worse.

Can I Recover Compensation for My Brain Injury?
You may be able to recover compensation for your traumatic brain injury if you can prove that you sustained the injury because of another’s negligence. Your attorney must prove four elements to establish negligence:
- Duty of care ”“ This means there was a legal duty to act with reasonable care to prevent injury to someone else. For example, doctors have an obligation to provide care that is consistent with accepted medical standards.
- Breach of duty of care ”“ This means the at-fault party did not act reasonably, as the duty of care required him or her to do.
- Link to damages ”“ In other words, your injuries would not have happened without negligence occurring.
- Existence of damages ”“ You need proof of damages from your injuries, like medical bills, documentation of pain and suffering, employment records, etc.

How Much is My Case Worth?
If you have a case, determining what it is worth requires careful analysis. Our attorneys know each injury is different and we know how extensive the damages from a brain injury can be, both for victims and their families.

What is the Statute of Limitations for My Case?
In Arizona, you generally only have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim against the liable party.
It is important to note there can be exceptions to this two-year deadline. The discovery rule says the two-year clock on a claim does not start until the date the victim discovers the injury or should have discovered it.
There are also exceptions for claims against the government and minors, which can be discussed with one of our experienced Yuma traumatic brain injury lawyers.

What Causes a Traumatic Brain Injury?
Traumatic brain injuries are usually the result of a blow to the head, which can occur in many situations:
- Car accidents – The force of impact of one car hitting another can jolt a person forward, causing that person to hit their head against the airbag, windshield, or even the ceiling of the vehicle.
- Fights/attacks ”“ The fight could be part of a crime or something that happens because people are under the influence of alcohol. Someone could get hit in the head in the fight or even fall and suffer a brain injury. During the fall, the victim could hit his or her head on a sharp object that could pierce the skull, resulting in a brain bleed.
- Slip and fall accidents – If someone slips and hits his or her head hard on the floor or on any other object, it can cause internal bleeding and other injuries.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!
