Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The fall takes four seconds. The consequences take the rest of a life.A traumatic brain injury does not announce itself. The CT scan comes back clean. The patient walks out of the emergency room. Weeks later the family is trying to explain to a claims adjuster why a person who looks fine cannot hold a job, follow a conversation, or remember the name of a grandchild.After a California physician survived a devastating car accident, he spent sixty-three days in a coma and emerged unable to recognize his own identity, retain new memories, or understand the profound changes to his life, even though much of his medical knowledge remained intact. His story illustrates a truth every survivor and family must understand: a traumatic brain injury is never just an accident. It is the beginning of a complex medical, emotional, and legal journey.Michael Hackard has spent fifty years in California courtrooms representing people whose lives were divided by a single moment. In It's Never Just an Accident he writes about what happens after - the medical reality of brain injury, and the parallel process most families never see coming: the claim.What the book covers: - Why brain injuries are missed - and why "the scan was normal" is not the same as "nothing happened"- How TBI changes memory, judgment, and personality, and why families describe it as losing someone who is still in the room- What the first recorded statement to an insurer can cost, and what to do before giving one- Life care plans, liens, and the arithmetic of what an injury actually costs over decades- How fault is proved when the only witness is the person who cannot remember- What caregivers can expect in year one, year three, and year tenThis is a book for the injured, and for the husband, daughter, or mother who is now making every decision on their behalf.Michael Hackard is the founder of Hackard Law in Mather, California, an AV Preeminent-rated attorney with more than forty years at that rating, and the author of six books. His documentary short Introducing the Sage won the 2026 Silver Telly Award (Law & Crime). In "It's Never Just an Accident," Michael Hackard shares personal insights on TBIs, covering causes, impacts, and the legal process for compensation. The book offers practical guidance and hope to those affected by traumatic brain injuries. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
