Angelina and Brad Pitt’s Son Jolie-Pitt in Serious E-Bike Wreck!

The 20-year-old-man, whose parents are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, was seriously injured in an electric scooter wreck when he rear-ended a car.

The wreck occurred on Los Feliz Boulevard. According to investigators, Jolie-Pitt failed to stop and smacked into a car waiting at a red light. Emergency responders rushed him to a local hospital due to hip pain and a possible head injury.

No other details were available.

E-Scooter Injuries

Most people believe that e-anything, like sending an email, buying something through e-commerce, riding an e-scooter, or smoking an e-cigarette, is easy and safe. That may be true about the first two items on that list, but it certainly isn’t true regarding the last two.

Injuries associated with e-cigarette (vaping or Juuling) use are well-chronicled. E-scooter accidents often cause one or more kinds of head injuries, such as:

• PTSD: Yes, post-traumatic stress disorder is a physical brain injury. Extreme stress, which a life-threatening car crash injury certainly causes, alters the brain’s chemical composition. This imbalance causes depression, hypervigilance, anger, and other such symptoms, which are difficult to treat and, in many cases, completely disabling.
• sTBI: A severe traumatic brain injury is a classic head injury that, in most cases, a helmet doesn’t prevent. When victims fall off e-bikes, bicycles, motorcycles, or other such vehicles, their brains slam against the insides of their skulls. That impact usually causes permanent injuries. Dead brain cells don’t regenerate.
• mTBI: In most cases, a moderate traumatic brain injury (concussion) isn’t life-threatening. However, the cumulative effects of concussions can cause CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), a degenerative brain injury that is usually fatal, often because of a CTE-induced suicide.

If a pre-existing condition, like prior concussions, contributes to a crash-related injury, like CTE, Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in Los Angeles can obtain maximum compensation for the victim. This compensation usually includes money for economic losses, such as medical bills, and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering.

Rear-End Crashes and Comparative Fault

At first blush, Mr. Jolie-Pitt seems entirely responsible for the crash. However, there’s a difference between fault, like a halftime score, and liability, like a final score.

Many teams come back in the second half. A Los Angeles personal injury lawyer typically uses additional evidence to mount a second-half comeback. The above story is a good example. If the other driver didn’t pull forward after the light turned green, that driver might be partially responsible for the crash.
