What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in normal brain function caused by an external force—often a blow, jolt, or penetration to the head. While some TBIs are mild and heal over time, others lead to permanent disability, cognitive decline, or behavioral changes that affect every aspect of a person’s life.

In fast-paced cities like Las Vegas, TBIs frequently result from car crashes, motorcycle accidents, violent assaults, or slip-and-fall incidents inside casinos, hotels, and entertainment venues. Unfortunately, these injuries are not always immediately visible, making it critical to seek medical attention and legal guidance as soon as possible.

Common Causes of TBIs in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a city known for its energy, entertainment, and nonstop movement—but it also presents a high risk of serious accidents, especially those leading to traumatic brain injuries. Below are some of the most common scenarios our clients face when they come to Jerez Law with a brain injury claim.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Auto collisions are one of the leading causes of traumatic brain injuries in Southern Nevada. From fender-benders to multi-car pileups, accidents on I-15, US-95, and Charleston Boulevard often involve high speeds and distracted drivers. Even when airbags deploy, the violent jolt of impact can cause the brain to slam against the skull, leading to concussions, contusions, or more severe internal bleeding.

At Jerez Law, we conduct full accident reconstructions and gather black box data, witness testimony, and traffic camera footage to hold negligent drivers accountable.

Motorcycle and Bicycle Crashes

Motorcyclists and cyclists are among the most vulnerable people on the road. With little to no physical protection, riders are at an elevated risk of TBI—even while wearing a helmet. We’ve handled many cases where a driver failed to yield, made a blind turn, or opened a car door into a bike lane, causing the rider to be thrown onto the pavement or into traffic.

From Sahara Avenue to the Red Rock Loop, we’ve represented victims injured in some of the valley’s most dangerous bike zones. Visit our Bicycle Accident or Motorcycle Accident pages to learn more about how we protect riders.

Slip and Fall Accidents

A fall might seem minor—until it results in a TBI. Slipping on an unmarked wet floor in a casino or tripping over a loose tile in a retail store can send victims crashing headfirst into hard surfaces. In tourist-heavy zones like the Las Vegas Strip, Fremont Street Experience, or inside venues like Caesars Palace, TBIs from falls are more common than most realize.

These businesses are required by law to maintain safe premises. When they don’t, we hold them fully liable. Explore our Las Vegas slip and fall representation to see how we recover compensation for these hidden hazards.

Truck Crashes

Commercial truck collisions often result in high-impact, head-on trauma, particularly when large trucks rear-end smaller vehicles or jackknife into traffic. Victims of truck crashes are frequently left with severe brain injuries due to the sheer mass and momentum involved.

Truck accidents on major Las Vegas arteries like I-515, US-95, or the 215 Beltway can be legally complex, involving multiple defendants such as logistics companies, insurers, and drivers.

Assaults and Criminal Acts

Las Vegas nightlife is a magnet for activity—but unfortunately, not all of it is safe. Assaults in or around clubs, hotels, and casinos can result in blunt-force trauma to the head, leading to traumatic brain injuries. We’ve seen cases stemming from nightclub fights, negligent security, or robberies gone wrong, particularly around Fremont East, Downtown, and the Arts District.

If your TBI was the result of a criminal act, you may be entitled to pursue compensation from both the assailant and the property owner for negligent security. We work with investigators and law enforcement to build airtight civil claims while you focus on recovery.

TBI Symptoms You Should Never Ignore

Symptoms can vary based on the part of the brain affected and the force of impact, as detailed by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Some develop immediately, while others take days or weeks to appear. Common signs include:

• Persistent headaches or migraines
• Memory loss or confusion
• Difficulty concentrating or processing information
• Loss of balance or coordination
• Mood swings, depression, or irritability
• Slurred speech or sensitivity to light and sound
• Loss of consciousness, even briefly

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms after an accident—even a minor one—get examined immediately at UMC Trauma Center, Sunrise Hospital, or another local emergency facility. Then, consult a legal professional to discuss how to protect your rights.

Why TBIs Require More Than Just Medical Attention

A brain injury doesn’t just affect the body—it affects careers, families, and futures. Whether the injury is classified as mild or severe, it often leads to:

• Time off work or job loss
• Ongoing rehabilitation (physical, cognitive, or emotional)
• Dependence on caregivers for daily living tasks
• Long-term emotional and financial strain on the entire family

At Jerez Law, we connect clients with trusted neurologists, neuropsychologists, and support services throughout Las Vegas. Then, we build a case that reflects the full scope of your loss—from medical expenses to the pain that no test can measure.

How Jerez Law Collects Evidence in Traumatic Brain Injury Cases

At Jerez Law, we know that a successful traumatic brain injury case begins with powerful evidence. Insurance companies often downplay the seriousness of TBIs—especially if there’s no visible trauma. That’s why our legal team acts quickly and thoroughly, building a detailed case that captures not just the how, but the why behind your injury.

Our goal is simple: to prove negligence, document the full extent of your injuries, and demonstrate how this injury has changed your life forever. Here’s how we do it.

On-Scene Investigation and Surveillance Retrieval

The moment you contact us, our investigators begin gathering critical evidence. This includes:

• Photos and videos of the accident scene, whether from a casino floor, intersection near Fremont Street, or inside a resort like Bellagio.
• Surveillance footage, especially in places like casinos, hotels, or retail stores, where cameras are often rolling.
• Vehicle damage analysis in cases involving motor vehicle collisions or motorcycle crashes.

In fact, Las Vegas businesses are legally required to maintain safe premises under Nevada premises liability law (NRS Chapter 41). When they don’t, we move fast to preserve the evidence that proves it.

Medical Records and Expert Neurological Evaluations

TBIs often require a combination of imaging, testing, and specialist input. Our firm works closely with:

• Emergency medical providers such as UMC Trauma Center and Sunrise Hospital
• Neurologists and neuropsychologists to assess memory loss, cognitive impairments, and behavioral changes
• Radiologists for CT scans, MRIs, and brain imaging
• Occupational and speech therapists to measure loss of function or communication ability

We also collaborate with brain injury specialists affiliated with organizations like the Brain Injury Association of America to ensure your diagnosis is thoroughly documented and supported by top-tier medical evidence.

Eyewitness Testimony and Police Reports

In TBI cases, we often rely on eyewitness accounts to paint a clear picture of what happened—especially if your memory of the event is unclear. We also:

• Interview bystanders, first responders, or coworkers
• Collect official police or incident reports
• Obtain 911 call records or security logs from the property owner or business

Our legal team is trained to identify inconsistencies, secure time-sensitive evidence, and build a narrative that is clear, convincing, and impossible to ignore.

Economic and Life Care Documentation

Severe TBIs can result in long-term disability, loss of income, or permanent impairment. That’s why we partner with:

• Life care planners who estimate future medical and therapy costs
• Vocational rehabilitation experts who evaluate the loss of earning potential
• Psychologists and PTSD specialists to document emotional trauma and changes in behavior

This evidence allows us to demand full compensation not just for medical bills, but for the life you’ve lost—and the one you now must rebuild.

We Prepare Every Case Like It’s Going to Trial

Whether we settle or litigate, Jerez Law always prepares for the courtroom. Our team knows that serious brain injury cases often face pushback from insurers who attempt to minimize payout. That’s why we:

• Build compelling timelines of events
• Prepare visual exhibits, including medical illustrations and accident reconstructions
• Bring in expert witnesses ready to testify on your behalf

We don’t just aim to prove your case—we aim to overwhelm the opposition with undeniable evidence and expert testimony.

This version integrates the NIH source on TBI severity to support your credibility without using fixed dollar amounts:

Types of Compensation in a TBI Lawsuit

No two traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are exactly alike. At Jerez Law, we understand that the value of your case depends heavily on the type, severity, and long-term effects of your brain injury. Whether you experienced a mild concussion or a life-altering neurological impairment, our legal team takes the time to document every detail and build a claim that reflects the true cost of your recovery.

According to the National Institutes of Health, TBIs are classified as mild, moderate, or severe, with each level requiring a different scope of treatment, care, and financial support. At Jerez Law, we know how to align your case with this medical framework to ensure your compensation truly reflects your injury’s impact on your life.

Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI)

Mild TBIs, such as concussions, are commonly dismissed as “not serious”—especially by insurance adjusters. However, symptoms like memory loss, dizziness, and fatigue can disrupt daily activities for weeks or even months. Many clients with mTBIs experience delayed recovery or post-concussion syndrome, which significantly affects their work and quality of life.

We work with neurologists and brain injury specialists to validate your diagnosis and counter any claims that attempt to downplay your suffering. Our goal is to prove that even a so-called “mild” injury can carry real consequences—and real value.

Moderate Traumatic Brain Injuries

Moderate TBIs often involve loss of consciousness, changes in mental status, and long-term cognitive or emotional challenges. These injuries typically require hospitalization, rehabilitation, and a longer recovery window.

Our legal strategy includes gathering complete medical records, CT or MRI imaging, and neuropsychological evaluations to demonstrate how the injury has impacted your daily functioning, career, and independence. We also consult with economic and life-care experts to project the cost of future therapy or support.

Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries

Severe TBIs may result in permanent cognitive deficits, physical disabilities, and a complete loss of independence. Victims may require around-the-clock care, mobility assistance, or lifelong supervision. These cases demand aggressive advocacy and meticulous documentation to ensure that every future need is accounted for.

We partner with life care planners and vocational rehabilitation professionals to build a roadmap of costs that includes everything from in-home care and assistive technology to home modifications and lost lifetime earnings.

How Jerez Law Maximizes Compensation Based on Injury Severity

At Jerez Law, we don’t apply a one-size-fits-all approach to brain injury cases. We match the medical complexity of your TBI with legal precision, gathering evidence from medical professionals, eyewitnesses, and accident scene investigations to present a comprehensive picture of your suffering.

Whether your symptoms are subtle or severe, we fight for every dollar you deserve—because your injury deserves to be taken seriously. Insurance companies may try to rush a lowball offer, but we take the time to demand full value based on the specific nature and long-term consequences of your brain trauma.
