Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) change more lives than just the victim’s. Often, the entire family suffers. The dynamic changes, the household income may be cut in half, or one family member may be forced into a caregiver role for which they are ill-equipped. TBIs can produce moderate to severe brain damage, and even with the best of care, there’s a good chance that the victim will never be the same as they were before the injury-causing incident. Many traumatic brain injuries are the result of someone else’s negligence, either another person or an entity. If this is your situation, our Memphis, TN traumatic brain injury lawyer is ready to help you and your family get the compensation you need for the best quality care.
The attorneys at Patterson Bray PLLC are skilled litigators with decades of combined experience handling all the different types of personal injury cases that produce TBIs. From semi-truck crashes to nasty slip-and-falls or assaults, we have the resources and experience you need for a successful outcome. Please contact our firm today for a free consultation.
Our Memphis traumatic brain injury lawyer helps you understand your legal rights after being hurt in an avoidable accident. Under Tennessee law, if you were hurt because another party failed to properly care for your safety, you have the right to file a lawsuit for compensatory damages against them. Your damages can include:
Many people who suffer moderate to severe brain injuries experience significant personality changes. If the brain damage is severe enough, it could trigger the onset of cognitive decline. This is irreversible and often means that the victim needs permanent residential care in a memory care facility. The lifetime cost of this treatment can easily top $1 million.
Our legal team builds a strong case proving the at-fault party’s negligence, demonstrating how their actions (or inaction) created the circumstances for the accident to occur or directly caused it. We work with medical experts who affirm the extent of the treatment you require and its cost. Our attorneys don’t neglect the impact of the brain injury on your life when calculating damages. We know there’s a good chance you’ll never be the same. While no amount of money can correct the damage, the compensation you receive can provide the means to make you as comfortable as possible, and receive appropriate supportive care.
If your child has suffered a TBI, please act quickly to explore your legal options with the assistance of an experienced traumatic brain injury lawyer Memphis, TN parents trust. In the wake of head trauma, all of your attention is likely focused on taking care of your child. Unfortunately, if you don’t explore your legal options with relative haste, critical evidence that may make or break your case could become compromised over time. Additionally, the law only allows accident victims and their families so long to file legal action before they’re barred from doing so by statutes of limitation. The experienced Tennessee legal team at Patterson Bray is proud to represent the interests of minors who have suffered TBI and the interests of the families who love and support these babies, kids, and teenagers. Please consider scheduling a no-cost, risk-free, confidential consultation with a Memphis personal injury lawyer on our team to explore your options today. If you should decide to pursue legal action against those responsible for your child’s suffering, we’ll handle the legal “heavy lifting” on behalf of your family so that you can return your focus full-time to your child and their evolving needs.
Children are afforded the same kinds of protection under the law that adults are in the event that someone who owes them a “legal duty of care” under the law breaches that duty and harm directly results from that breach. This is a legally dense way of saying that if your child’s TBI was caused by someone else’s negligent, reckless, or intentionally dangerous behavior, you likely have strong grounds to file a personal injury action against those responsible for the harm your child has experienced. There are some exceptions to this general rule. For example, some properly executed liability waivers may bar certain kinds of recovery under the law. However, for the most part, if your child has suffered a significant injury and that injury was caused by another person, a city responsible for maintaining playground equipment, the manufacturer of a product marketed to children, etc. chances are high that you will be able to hold those responsible accountable for your child’s suffering through the personal injury process.
If your child has suffered head trauma and it’s possible, probable, or certain that someone else is (at minimum) partially responsible for the harm that your child has experienced, please call our firm today to explore your legal options. Every family of a TBI accident victim deserves to ask questions and have their case evaluated for free, regardless of their economic situation, immigration status, or other challenges that may otherwise limit access to professional assistance. Don’t wait. Call our law firm of Patterson Bray in Memphis, TN traumatic brain injury lawyer team today to schedule your free, confidential, and risk-free consultation; we look forward to speaking with you.
Recovery from a TBI is long and uncertain, with a lot of obstacles. Getting the compensation you deserve shouldn’t be one.

Vehicle crashes are one of the most common causes of traumatic brain injuries. A Memphis traumatic brain injury lawyer often works with individuals who have suffered concussions, skull fractures, or long-term brain damage after collisions involving cars, trucks, or motorcycles.
Commercial truck accidents can produce devastating force. These cases often involve severe brain injuries and may require an investigation into driver fatigue, vehicle maintenance failures, or company safety violations.
Motorcycle riders face a high risk of serious head trauma when collisions occur. Even when protective helmets are used, riders can suffer concussions or long-lasting neurological damage.
Construction sites and industrial workplaces present hazards that may lead to head injuries. Falls, falling objects, or equipment accidents can cause traumatic brain injuries that leave workers unable to return to their previous jobs.
Medical errors can also result in traumatic brain injuries. Mistakes during surgery, anesthesia complications, or delayed diagnosis of oxygen deprivation may lead to permanent neurological harm.
Falls in unsafe buildings, businesses, or public areas can lead to severe head injuries. Property owners have responsibilities to maintain safe premises, and failures in maintenance may contribute to traumatic brain trauma.
Sports injuries and recreational accidents sometimes result in concussions or brain trauma, particularly when safety procedures or equipment standards are ignored. These cases may involve schools, organizations, or facility operators.
Defective safety equipment, malfunctioning vehicles, or hazardous consumer products can contribute to serious brain injuries. Claims may involve manufacturers, distributors, or other responsible parties.
Traumatic brain injuries sometimes occur during assaults or violent incidents in locations where security measures are inadequate. Property owners or businesses may share responsibility if they failed to take reasonable safety precautions.
A traumatic brain injury can create lasting challenges for victims and their families. Recovery often requires extensive medical care, therapy, and long-term financial planning. A Memphis traumatic brain injury lawyer may help investigate the circumstances of an injury and pursue compensation for medical treatment, lost income, and other damages. Patterson Bray works closely with injured individuals and their families to understand the full impact of an injury and advocate for meaningful results. If you are dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic brain injury, contacting our team can be the first step toward pursuing accountability and moving forward.
