Brain Injuries Are a Serious Public Health Concern in Oklahoma and across the U.S. 

Most are caused by automobile wrecks!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website states that at least 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, occur as a result of a singular injury or with other injuries each year. Traumatic brain injuries make up a large number of deaths and instances of permanent disability. Traumatic brain injury is an injury that disrupts the regular function of the brain and is caused by a jolt, bump, or blow to the head or some other penetrating head injury. Some blows or jolts are minor and result in a lower grade injury like a concussion, but others are much more severe and include a long period of unconsciousness or amnesia following the injury.

Motor vehicle accidents, falls, assaults, and “struck by/against” events are the leading causes of traumatic brain injury. Motor vehicle accidents are the second leading cause, and affect all age groups. “Struck by/against” events are when the injured collides with a moving or stationary object. This cause greatly affects children aged 0-14 years. Assaults make up 10% of TBI causes, and affect all ages. Further information is available from the Brain Injury Association of America.

If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of any type of automobile collision, please call JIMMY D. SPEED at SPEED LAW OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!

There was a time when DUI or Driving Under the Influence was the number one cause of accidents and deaths on the road in the United States. Thanks to the wide use of cell phones, driving while texting has now replaced DUI as the top road killer. In fact, studies show that driving while texting is six times more dangerous than drinking and driving!

If you have been injured as a result of someone DRIVING WHILE TEXTING or you lost a loved one due to someone driving while texting, call SPEED LAW OFFICE for representation immediately.

If you are injured in a motorcycle wreck caused by someone who was negligent, you may be able to pursue compensation from more than just the negligent driver. Depending on the circumstances, someone who allows an incompetent, unlicensed and/or unfit person to operate his or her vehicle may be liable in a motorcycle wreck. Legally, this is known as "negligent entrustment."

A negligent entrustment case may also arise out of a drunk driving accident in which the drunk driver was allowed to operate someone else's car. If the owner of the car knew the person was intoxicated, the owner might be liable.

Negligent entrustment cases in motorcycle accidents can be complex. Insurance companies are quick to blame a motorcycle rider, even when someone else is clearly negligent. SPEED LAW OFFICE understands how frustrating it is for motorcyclists to face this type of accusation.  We fight hard for our clients to make sure they are fully compensated by all negligent parties.

As of August 2014, the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) says the most frequent causes of spinal cord injury are vehicle crashes, including crashes involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, all-terrain vehicles, aircraft, boats and snowmobiles.
The average age at injury has increased from 29 years during 1970s to 42 years since 2010.
Approximately 79% of spinal cord injuries occur among males.

A high spinal cord injury causes varying degrees of paralysis of the arms, trunk and legs, as well as in chest and pelvic organs. This is called tetraplegia or quadriplegia. A lower injury might cause paraplegia, the loss of function in all or part of the legs and pelvic organs.

The NSCISC also says the lifetime medical and living costs for a spinal cord injury with “incomplete motor function at any level” can be expected to be at least $1.09 million for a 50-year-old patient or more than $1.5 million for 25-year-old. A 50-year-old patient with high tetraplegia can expect lifetime costs of more than $2.5 million. A 25-year-old who suffers a high spinal cord injury causing tetraplegia will need at least $4.6 million for medical and living expenses.

These figures do not include indirect costs, such as lost wages, pain and suffering, lost enjoyment of life and other emotional damages.

If you or a loved one has suffered any of these types of injuries as a result of someone's negligence, please call SPEED LAW OFFICE immediately.  SPEED LAW OFFICE will fight for compensation for victims of catastrophic injuries, such as those that result in spinal cord damage, paralysis or quadriplegia.

Traumatic brain injuries can happen any time an individual suffers an open or closed head wound. These types of wounds occur in many situations, but some of the top causes of traumatic brain injuries are the result of 18 wheeler wrecks, car wrecks, or other vehicle wrecks including pedestrian, bicycle, and motorcycle wrecks.

The damage to the brain may be localized to the area where the blow impacted the skull. However, a severe jolt or blow to the brain caused by any type of automobile wreck can cause the brain to move back and forth within the skull. This can lead to multiple damage points and a multitude of symptoms and complications. Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can vary from seizures and mood changes to memory problems.  A traumatic brain injury can last for weeks, months or years, all depending upon the severity of the injury.

Call SPEED LAW OFFICE today to speak with Jimmy D. Speed to determine if you have a claim for damages.
