Coup Contrecoup Injury Lawyers
At Breit Biniazan, we understand the devastating impact that a traumatic brain injury can have on an individual’s life and the lives of their loved ones. Specializing as injury lawyers, we are committed to offering expert legal guidance and support in cases involving coup contrecoup brain injuries. These injuries, often resulting from head traumas such as car accidents, falls, or sports accidents, involve a unique form of brain injury where the brain is injured first at the site of impact (coup injury) and then on the opposite side of the skull due to the movement of the brain within the cranial space (contrecoup injury).
Coup contrecoup brain injuries fall under the broader category of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). These injuries can range from mild concussions to severe brain injuries, potentially leading to permanent brain damage. The human brain is delicate, and such injuries often result from blunt force trauma to the head, causing the brain tissue to collide with the internal hard surface of the skull. This can result in a variety of symptoms, including memory loss, muscle weakness, and changes in personality or cognitive abilities.
When a coup contrecoup injury occurs, it is often the result of high-impact scenarios such as motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, or sports-related incidents. The initial impact causes the coup injury, while the brain’s rebound against the opposite side of the skull causes the contrecoup injury. These injuries can lead to severe complications like brain swelling, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, or even life-threatening conditions.
At Breit Biniazan, our team of dedicated brain injury attorneys understands the complexity of these cases. We are well-versed in navigating the personal injury claims process, including assessing the role of negligence, conducting vehicle accident reconstructions with medical professionals, and pursuing financial compensation for the injured party. Whether the injury occurs due to a car accident, a fall accident, or any other form of direct trauma, our lawyers are equipped to handle each unique case with the utmost care and professionalism.
If you or a loved one has suffered a coup contrecoup brain injury due to someone else’s negligence, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention and legal advice. The difference between a coup and contrecoup injury might seem subtle, but the implications for your personal injury case are significant. Our personal injury lawyers at Breit Biniazan are ready to guide you through the personal injury claim process, ensuring you receive the compensation and support needed for recovery.

Brain injuries, specifically coup, contrecoup, and coup-contrecoup injuries, are complex and often serious conditions that require immediate attention and expert care. At Breit Biniazan, we understand the intricacies and the severe impact these injuries can have on individuals and their families.
Coup brain injuries occur directly beneath the impact site on the brain. These injuries manifest when the brain strikes the skull due to a significant blow. Symptoms can vary, ranging from mild, such as minor bruises and cuts, to more severe cases involving brain swelling, hemorrhaging, and deep contusions. The severity of a coup injury depends on the force of the impact and its immediate effect on the brain tissue.
Contrecoup brain injuries are particularly concerning due to their tendency to be overlooked. These injuries affect the brain area opposite the impact site. Often caused by strong forces, such as those experienced in motorcycle accidents or vehicle rollovers, contrecoup injuries can lead to the brain striking the interior of the skull. The danger lies in their misdiagnosis, as their symptoms might not be immediately apparent, yet they can result in significant health risks if not promptly addressed.
Coup-contrecoup brain injuries are among the most severe, as they involve damage to both the impact site and the opposite side of the brain. This dual impact can lead to complex medical scenarios where one injury is treated while the other remains undiagnosed, increasing the risk of permanent brain damage. Recognizing and treating both aspects of a coup-contrecoup injury is crucial for recovery.
Symptoms of a coup contrecoup head injury, a specific type of traumatic brain injury, can vary widely depending on the severity and location of the injury. This form of brain injury typically occurs when the head suffers a significant impact, such as in a car accident, fall accidents, or sports accidents, leading to brain tissue damage on both the site of impact (coup injury) and on the opposite side (contrecoup injury).
Victims might experience symptoms ranging from mild concussions to severe brain injuries. Common indicators include confusion, loss of consciousness, headache, dizziness, nausea, and in more severe cases, signs of brain swelling, loss of motor function, or changes in cognitive abilities. There may also be visible signs of head trauma.
It is crucial for anyone experiencing these symptoms after a head injury, especially following motor vehicle accidents or slip and fall incidents, to seek immediate medical attention to prevent further injury and assess for possible brain damage.
In situations where the injury results from someone else’s negligence, consulting with a brain injury attorney or a personal injury lawyer can be an essential step in understanding the personal injury claims process and potentially securing financial compensation for the injury caused. At Breit Biniazan, our experienced injury lawyers are well-equipped to assist with coup contrecoup injury claims, ensuring that victims receive the support and justice they deserve.
High-impact crashes involving cars, motorcycles, or other vehicles often cause the head to strike objects like steering wheels or windows, leading to coup and contrecoup injuries.
Slips, trips, and falls, especially from significant heights, can result in the brain striking against the skull, causing coup contrecoup brain injuries.
High-contact sports or activities where falls or collisions are common can lead to traumatic brain injuries, including coup and contrecoup injuries.
Incidents involving direct blows to the head, such as being struck by an object or assault, often result in coup contrecoup injuries.
Situations where the head is violently shaken, as seen in certain types of assaults or in shaken baby syndrome, can cause the brain to move rapidly inside the skull, leading to these injuries.
Industrial or construction accidents involving head trauma from falls or being struck by heavy objects can result in coup contrecoup brain injuries.
Accidents or injuries occurring due to someone else’s negligence, such as unsafe premises or inadequate safety measures, can lead to head injuries including coup and contrecoup injuries.
Rarely, certain medical conditions or procedures that lead to severe shaking or trauma to the head can result in these types of brain injuries.
In any case where a coup contrecoup injury occurs, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Consulting with a personal injury lawyer or a brain injury attorney, especially when the injury is due to someone else’s negligence, can be an important step in the personal injury claims process. Such professionals, including the team at Breit Biniazan, can offer guidance and support in seeking financial compensation and navigating the complexities of personal injury cases involving traumatic brain injuries.
Coup, contrecoup, and coup-contrecoup injuries, specific types of traumatic brain injuries, can lead to significant damages, both economic and non-economic. When coup contrecoup injuries occur, they often result from head traumas. A coup injury occurs at the point of initial impact, while a contrecoup injury happens on the opposite side of the brain. In coup-contrecoup injuries, both phenomena are present, leading to brain damage on both sides of the skull.
The economic damages associated with these types of brain injuries can be substantial. Victims often face expensive medical bills for immediate and ongoing treatment, which may include consultations with medical professionals, potential brain surgery, and long-term rehabilitation. Loss of income or earning capacity due to severe injury or permanent brain damage is also a significant factor. There may be costs related to vehicle accident reconstructions or other investigations, especially if the injury lawyer is building a personal injury claim.
Non-economic damages in cases of coup, contrecoup, and coup-contrecoup injuries are equally impactful. These injuries can lead to life-altering changes, including severe pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and mental anguish. The victim may experience symptoms like muscle weakness, cognitive impairments, or personality changes, deeply affecting their quality of life. In severe cases, there may be permanent brain damage, leading to long-term care needs.
When pursuing a personal injury claim for such injuries, especially when they occur due to someone else’s negligence, it’s crucial to account for both economic and non-economic damages. A skilled brain injury attorney or personal injury lawyer, like those at Breit Biniazan, can help navigate the personal injury claims process, ensuring that the victims receive the comprehensive financial compensation they deserve for all the damages caused by the brain injury.
Navigating the aftermath of a traumatic brain injury, particularly a coup contrecoup injury, can be overwhelming and complex. These injuries, often resulting from head traumas like car accidents, slip and fall accidents, or sports accidents, can lead to significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens. The complexities of a coup contrecoup brain injury, which involves damage to multiple areas of the brain, require thorough medical attention and expert legal guidance. Whether it’s a contrecoup injury, a severe brain injury from blunt force trauma, or complications arising from a fall accident, the consequences can be life-altering.
At Breit Biniazan, we specialize in providing comprehensive legal support for those suffering from brain injuries, including coup contrecoup injuries. Our experienced personal injury lawyers and brain injury attorneys understand the intricacies of these cases. From navigating the personal injury claims process to seeking financial compensation for medical expenses and other damages resulting from someone else’s negligence, we are here to advocate for your rights and ensure you receive the justice and support you deserve.

"Working with this law firm made settling my case a breeze! When i was injured in my car accident and my car was totaled, i was so worried about handling the insurance company and all of the phone calls and paperwork while i had a concussion. With a couple visits and a few emails back and forth with my paralegal and attorney, my case was settled in less than a year! If i ever needed to be represented again i will 100% be choosing Breit Cantor Grana Buckner to represent me! I appreciate everything they did for me!"

I would recommend to family & friends."
"Throughout 2019 and 2020 Attorney Kevin Biniazan helped me with a personal injury case. Aside from the professionalism and attentiveness one would expect from a quality law firm such as Breit Cantor Grana Buckner, I was taken by the fact that they agreed to take my case on a contingency basis, even though there was little evidence in my favor in the early stages of preparation. This meant the world to me. It meant that they believed in me, and my case, when two other firms declined to take the case. In late 2020 the case settled out of court and I received a substantial monetary award that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Kevin, and all your support staff for believing in me when many others did not!!!!"
"This law firm was highly recommended by a friend who had prior representation. I am very pleased with their professionalism and they kept me well informed of my injury case.

I encourage you to give them a call as you will have a pleasant experience with their representation!"
"My experience with Breit Biniazan and his team was very positive. They were very helpful, were always available, took time to explain the process, and answer any questions I had. A special thanks to Kellie for all her support and efforts. I always felt she was on my side and looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Binazan and his team and would not hesitate to use their services should the need arise."
"Michael Collett represented us in our suit, and he was incredible. He made quick, efficient work of getting our case positively resolved while also making sure to keep us updated along the way. We recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury suit.
Our suit had dragged on for five years, and we wondered if it would ever be finished. Once Mike was handed our case, he immediately got to work getting to know us and understanding the timeline of events. Additionally, as a prior military member, he understood that our case was not a traditional cut-and-dry lawsuit: our life continued while the company dragged it out in court, including PCSing overseas and then back to the US during COVID. This kind of personal understanding and attention to detail was instrumental to our case. Mike's background, compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism made the difference; without him, we could have had a very different outcome.
If you are in need of any representation for a personal injury suit, I highly recommend Michael and his colleagues."
"I'm an attorney in Nebraska and represented a Nebraska family who lost their son/brother due to an electrocution on a job site in Virginia. After handling the workers' compensation claim in Nebraska, I reached out to multiple law firms in Virginia, ultimately co-counseling with Kevin Biniazan on the Virginia third party claims. He worked the case up, secured experts, and ultimately tried the case to a jury. Kevin and his team did a fantastic job presenting the case, arguing points of law, and overall just demonstrated that they had put extraordinary time and effort into preparing the case for trial. They secured a 7-figure recovery on tough facts and were great to work with along the way. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm."
"I give Kevin Biniazan and his team the highest rating I can. I had a case in Va Beach a few years ago, called a few attorneys but ended up going with Kevin because of the knowledge and compassion he showed. After telling Kevin my issue, he and his team did all the work. They took the time to listen to my concerns and feelings, they were informative and available at all times. Along with the success of my case, Kevin and his team gave me the opportunity and support I needed to begin healing. I couldn’t recommend enough!"
"Outstanding service! My case lasted approximately 2 years, the staff was more than patient with me and the multiple questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to all."
"I was injured in a motorcycle accident with a car driver and refered to Breit Biniazan by a second lawfirm from my home state. They were professional and got me through one of the most painful times in my life. I simply gave them what they needed and they took care of the rest, getting me proper compensation for my pain and suffering."
"I took a chance on this firm from a recommendation and I couldn’t be happier with their work and the results of my case. Kellie and Nilda are pure gold! Kellie kept me appraised of everything that was going on, timely and answered all my questions and concerns. I followed a recommendation; trust me, Breit Biniazan is the very best!"

Kellie, their paralegal proved to be an invaluable support. Kellie was compassionate and her communication helped us through a tough time. I highly recommend Breit Biniazan."
"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Beasley and Ms. Jennings. I was unfortunately involved in multiple crashes that I was a victim of and sought their firm, Breit Biniazan for help with medical bills and other issues. They worked with me for well over a year, coming to a successful resolution for my cases. They are incredibly passionate about their job and getting to an outcome desired for their plaintiffs. I would recommend their firm for any cases you may have, no questions asked."
"I’ve never been in a lawsuit, nor have I been to court, or had anything dealing with legal matter so all of this was pretty new to me, and 9/10 it was scary & heart racing. The only reason I got through it is because of Kevin. If it wasn’t for him with his patience, his commitment to his client, or the will to go the distance I never would’ve had confidence in any of this legal stuff. 10/10 recommend Breit Biniazan."
"Kept me informed of the entire process. Offered advice on how to proceed."
"Fantastic team! Kevin is an amazing attorney who comes through on his word. Kylee and the team of paralegals went above and beyond to help me understand what we should expect in the case. I highly recommend Kevin’s team to anyone who is not only in need of a legal team, but one who will get them what they deserve!"
"Kevin and his team worked tirelessly to help us secure the best possible outcome for an incredibly difficult situation. They were supportive and attentive to our needs, walked us through the process step by step and fought hard for us. I would highly recommend Breit Biniazan for all of your legal needs."
"Following a motor vehicle accident, I needed assistance with handling insurance issues and was referred to Breit Biniazan for their expertise. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Alexis Meier and her paralegal Molisa Gardner. They managed my case with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and thoroughness.
As a physician, I am aware that some law firms may try to enhance settlements by recommending excessive consultations, imaging studies, and other tests, as well as extensive therapy. However, Alexis and Molisa ensured that I received the necessary care without subjecting me to unnecessary tests or treatments. I found their approach to be both ethical and professional.
I wholeheartedly endorse Breit Biniazan and recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation."
"Alexis Meier is an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and highly effective. She handled my case with efficiency, care, and compassion, ensuring everything was managed seamlessly. Her team was equally impressive, always responsive and prompt in their communication. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, and I highly recommend Alexis and her team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation."
