Chicago Brain Damage Lawyer
What is Brain Damage?
Brain damage is an injury which causes the destruction or deterioration of brain cells.
According to the Brain Injury Association of America, approximately 2.6 million people suffer some type of brain injury every year in the United States. Approximately 52,000 people die as a result of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The following are two types of brain injury:
- Traumatic Brain Injury – Caused by an external force, such as a blow to the head, which results in movement of the brain within the skull or also damages the skull.
- Acquired Brain Injury – Occurs at the cellular level, typically associated with pressure on the brain from a tumor or other neurological illness.
Causes of Brain Damage
When the brain does not receive adequate oxygen for a period of time, it may lead to brain damage. It can also occur due to a wide range of injuries, illnesses, or health conditions. Young children and the elderly are often at risk, as well as males between ages 15 and 24 due to high-risk behaviors.
Common causes of brain damage include:
- Car accidents
- Falls
- Physical violence

- Blows to the head
- Stroke
- Tumors
- Heart attacks
- Infection
- Strangulation, choking, or drowning
- Poisoning or toxic chemical exposure

Ted McNabola is an amazing attorney! He handled my mom’s case after she was hit by a car as a pedestrian. The difference between Ted and other attorneys is that he never gave up! It was a long process of 3 years but when other attorney’s would have given up just to make some money on the case, Ted refused to do so!! In the end he got my mother EVERYTHING she was asking for! Thank you Ted for never giving up!!!!- Kat J.
