At The Mottley Law Firm, one of the most common types of cases Kevin Mottley and his team handle are those involving a traumatic brain injury. A traumatic brain injury is an injury to the brain that has occurred in some sort of incident or accident.
How Traumatic Brain Injuries Occur
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car accidents are one of the leading causes of traumatic brain injuries in Richmond, Virginia. The sudden impact and deceleration forces involved in vehicle crashes can cause the brain to move violently within the skull, resulting in brain tissue damage.
Direct Impact Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries can occur when something strikes somebody on the head, such as falling objects, sports-related impacts, or assault. These direct impact injuries can cause skull fractures, brain bruising, and other serious complications.
Fall-Related Brain Injuries
Falls are another common cause of traumatic brain injuries, particularly among older adults and on construction sites. When someone falls and strikes their head on the ground or another object, the impact can cause significant brain trauma.

Long-Term Consequences
Brain injuries can affect various aspects of a person's life, including:
- Memory and concentration
- Problem-solving abilities
- Emotional regulation
- Physical coordination and balance
- Sleep patterns and fatigue levels
- Work performance and earning capacity
- Personal relationships and social interactions

- Neurological medical evidence and expert testimony
- Neuropsychological testing and evaluation
- Life care planning for ongoing medical needs
