Traumatic brain injury lawyer for Tumwater and Olympia
Recognizing Brain Injuries Early
A traumatic brain injury can follow a collision, fall, or impact even when imaging first looks normal. If you are experiencing headaches, dizziness, sensitivity to light, memory trouble, or mood changes after a wreck in Tumwater, Olympia, Lacey, Yelm, or along I-5, seek care right away. Early documentation helps connect your symptoms to the event, whether the TBI came from
car accident cases on Capitol Boulevard, a bicycle crash near Capitol Lake, or a fall at a local business.
Medical Proof and Specialists
Building a Washington TBI claim means combining medical records with specialist evaluations. Our team coordinates with neurology, vestibular therapy, and counseling providers across Thurston and Mason County so your recovery path is clear and supported.
Imaging Limits and Neuropsychology
CT or MRI can miss mild TBI. Neuropsychological testing, balance and vision assessments, and detailed symptom tracking show how attention, processing speed, and memory have changed since the incident.
Treaters: Neurology, Vestibular Therapy, Counseling
We help schedule the right providers, communicate with clinics near downtown Olympia and Westside medical hubs, and make sure reports address work limits, school accommodations, and long-term care needs when symptoms persist.
Life Impacts and Damages
TBI can upend work, school, and family life. We document time away from Providence St. Peter or state offices, missed classes at South Puget Sound Community College, and the daily strain that fatigue and noise sensitivity create. Damages may include medical bills, future treatment, wage loss, reduced earning capacity, and the human impact of cognitive and emotional changes. For severe outcomes, we consult life-care planners to calculate home modifications, therapy, transportation, and support.
Our Role
Bluhm Morgan PLLC leads with direct attorney contact from your first call. We investigate the cause, obtain scene evidence from intersections like Trosper Road and Martin Way, line up specialists, and manage insurer communications so you can focus on healing. When needed, we bring in experts to explain how a concussion becomes post-concussion syndrome and why symptoms can worsen under stress or over time. If another party’s negligence also caused spinal damage, we coordinate with our team handling spinal cord injuries to present the full picture of loss.
Frequently Asked Questions About Traumatic Brain Injuries
I never lost consciousness. Can it still be a TBI?
Yes. Many concussions occur without loss of consciousness. What matters are the symptoms and the medical link to your incident.
My symptoms started days later. Does that hurt my case?
Delayed onset is common. We work with your providers to document the timeline and rule out other causes.
How are settlements calculated for TBI?
We consider medical care, future treatment, wage loss, reduced ability to work, and the real effect on daily life. Strong expert support helps insurers understand the full value.
Should I talk to the adjuster?
It is better to let us handle those calls. We take over communications, evaluate offers, and press for fair results.
