What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden jolt, blow, or penetrating injury disrupts normal brain function. TBIs range in severity from mild concussions to catastrophic brain damage that leads to permanent disability.
Common Causes of TBIs in Phoenix
While brain injuries can occur in many situations, some of the most common causes include:
Motor Vehicle Accidents – Car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents frequently lead to TBIs.
Falls – Slip-and-fall accidents are a leading cause of brain injuries, particularly among seniors and young children.
Workplace Accidents – Construction and industrial site injuries often result in severe head trauma.
Sports Injuries – Contact sports like football, boxing, and soccer can lead to concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Violent Assaults – Blunt force trauma from physical altercations, gunshot wounds, or domestic violence can cause serious brain injuries.
For additional insights into the causes and risks of TBIs, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Symptoms and Long-Term Effects
The symptoms of a TBI vary depending on the severity of the injury. Mild TBIs (concussions) may cause headaches, dizziness, and temporary confusion, while moderate to severe TBIs can lead to:
- Memory loss and cognitive impairments
- Speech and communication difficulties
- Paralysis or loss of motor function
- Seizures or chronic pain
- Emotional and behavioral changes, such as depression or aggression
In many cases, TBI victims require ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and assistive devices to manage their condition.
Your Legal Rights as a TBI Victim in Arizona
If your TBI was caused by someone else’s negligence—whether a reckless driver, a property owner, or an employer—you have the right to pursue compensation. Arizona law allows TBI victims to seek damages for:
Medical Expenses – Emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, and rehabilitation costs.
Lost Wages and Earning Capacity – Compensation for time off work and diminished future income.
Pain and Suffering – Emotional distress and loss of quality of life.
Long-Term Care Needs – Costs associated with home care, therapy, and specialized equipment.
Time Limits for Filing a Brain Injury Lawsuit in Arizona
In Arizona, personal injury claims—including those for TBIs—must be filed within two years of the accident under the statute of limitations (ARS § 12-542). Failing to file within this window could result in losing your right to compensation.
If your injury was caused by a government entity (e.g., a city bus accident), you may have only 180 days to file a notice of claim. Don’t wait—speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arizona Traumatic Brain Injury
Q: How much is my brain injury case worth?
The value of a TBI claim depends on the severity of the injury, medical costs, lost wages, and other damages. Our attorneys can provide a personalized case evaluation.
Q: Can I file a lawsuit if my loved one suffered a fatal brain injury?
Yes, family members can pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of a loved one who passed away due to a TBI.
Q: What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Arizona follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Q: How long does a TBI lawsuit take?
Every case is different, but brain injury lawsuits can take several months to years, depending on the complexity of the case and the willingness of the opposing party to settle.

Gabe and team kept us abreast of any updates on the case in a timely fashion and were always, often within minutes of an email, to walk us through what was happening in our case or clarify any questions we may have.
