What Is Traumatic Brain Injury?
As defined by the CDC, TBI is a disruption of the brain’s normal function caused by a jolt, bump, or blow to the head, or by a penetrating head injury (such as bullet wound). Explosive blasts can also cause a TBI, a common injury among those serving in the military.
Not all jolts, bumps, or blows to the head cause traumatic brain injury, and not all people who suffer TBI experience behavioral effects or disabilities. Injured people are classified as having a TBI when a combination of the following factors is present:
- Trauma when the head strikes or is struck by an object;
- Acceleration/deceleration movement of the brain within the skull;
- Object penetrating the brain;
- TBI signs and symptoms shortly after the event.
Signs and Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury
Signs of traumatic brain injury to be aware of after a blow to the head include:
- A period of lost or decreased consciousness;
- Memory loss of events immediately before or after the injury;
- Neurological issues, such as loss of coordination and balance, muscle weakness, changes in speech or language, vision disruption, and sensory loss;
- Any alteration of mental state – confusion, difficulty concentrating, disorientation, thinking slowly.
Traumatic brain injury can be mild, moderate, or severe. Severe TBI can lead to a range of secondary conditions that can cause functional limitations, long-term impairments, disability, and reduced quality of life. It can have significant effects on the victim’s cognitive abilities, emotional and behavioral health, motor skills, and physical well-being.
Compensation for Traumatic Brain Injury
If you or your loved one has suffered TBI in a car accident, from medical errors, in a workplace accident, or from any injury caused by an act of negligence, you may be entitled to file a claim for compensation. The losses associated with severe TBI are often significant, and it is important to speak with an experienced brain injury lawyer as soon as possible.
If your injuries were caused by the negligence of another, our seasoned trial lawyers can aggressively pursue compensation for all losses, including:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering
- Wrongful death, if you have lost a loved one
