The role of a brain injury lawyer is to ensure that brain injury victims receive the necessary medical attention and rehabilitation for their injuries. This might involve coordinating with medical experts, facilitating assessments to understand the extent of the injury, or pursuing adequate compensation to cover future medical expenses. Moreover, rehabilitation and therapeutic services, which can be long-term, are also essential to recovery and must be considered during legal proceedings.
A brain injury lawyer will fight to protect the victim’s rights and safeguard the process to ensure that all documentation and paperwork is filed appropriately.
Virginia adheres to strict contributory negligence law, meaning if the victim is even 1% at fault for their traumatic brain injury, they may be barred from receiving any compensation. Additionally, Virginia’s statute of limitations dictates that personal injury lawsuits, including brain injury claims, must be filed within two years from the date of the injury, according to §8.01-243 of the Code of Virginia. Missing this window could mean forfeiting any chance of compensation.

A brain injury occurs when an external force injures the brain, causing a disruption in its normal function. The severity of these injuries can vary widely. At the milder end of the spectrum, we have concussions, which may result in short-term symptoms but can also have longer-lasting effects. More severe are traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which can lead to extended periods of unconsciousness or amnesia and can significantly impact a person’s cognitive and physical abilities.
A TBI is usually caused in one of two ways: a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating injury, such as a gunshot.
Unfortunately, brain injuries happen too often. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were over 69,000 TBI-related deaths in the U.S. in 2021.

Unfortunately, brain injuries are too common. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 68,663 TBI-related deaths in the United States in 2023. A five-year study published in 2025 also found that TBI-related emergency department visits averaged 3.0 million annually, with yearly visits ranging from 2.8 million to 3.2 million. This pervasive health concern highlights the pressing need for awareness, prevention, and intervention strategies.
There are many potential causes of brain injuries; a few would include:
These causes also show up clearly in national brain injury data. The CDC reports that falls account for almost half of TBI-related hospitalizations. Among children 17 and younger, contact sports such as football, basketball, and soccer are linked to 45% of emergency department visits for sports- and recreation-related TBIs and concussions. The Brain Injury Association of America also identifies motor vehicle crashes as the leading cause of brain injury-related hospitalizations among adolescents and adults ages 15 to 44.
Beyond the immediate trauma, the long-term consequences of a brain injury can be life-altering. Individuals may face cognitive impairments, difficulties with memory or concentration, changes in personality, and physical disabilities. In severe cases, individuals may need lifelong care or assistance, ultimately affecting not only their lives but also the lives of their loved ones.
The legal process surrounding a brain injury claim can be intricate. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown to provide clarity on what the injured person can anticipate:
In a traumatic brain injury claim, you may obtain economic and non-economic damages for:
The aim is to financially address both immediate and long-term impacts of the catastrophic injuries on your life.
