Memphis Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a persistent problem in the United
States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates
that, on average, over 1.7 million people face a traumatic [brain
injury](/practice-areas/personal-injury-lawsuits/brain-injury-attorneys/) each year. There are two distinct
types of TBIs, penetrating injuries and closed head
injuries. The consequences of a TBI are often
severe, ranging from mild changes in behavior and mental well being to
chronic changes in consciousness, and even death.
A contributing factor
in nearly a third of all injury related deaths, TBIs can cause disabling
changes to cognition, sensation, language, and emotion. Brain damage may
also contribute to diseases and disorders such as:
* Epilepsy
* Mental retardation
* Cerebral Palsy
* Spinal cord injuries
* Chronic headaches
* Second-impact syndrome
* Post-concussion syndrome
* Vertigo
* Strokes
* Brain hemorrhage
* Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)
* Alzheimer's disease
* Parkinson's disease
* Other brain disorders

## Causes of Head Trauma
There are a number of ways in which individuals can sustain traumatic
brain injuries. In Tennessee, the most common causes of TBIs include
falls, motor vehicle accidents and medical errors. The causes of TBIs
range from the mundane (sports injuries, slip and fall accidents), to
the egregious (excessive police force, criminal actions), to the tragic
(car and truck accidents, birth malpractice). Of the 1.7 million TBIs
each year, about 52,000 people die, 275,000 are hospitalized, and 80,000
to 90,000 experience the onset of long-term disability.
## How a Memphis Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney Could Help You
Compensation is important for brain injury patients as they are burdened
with the expenses of long-term rehabilitation and care. They may also be
unable to work and earn money, which in turn would have a detrimental
impact on their finances and personal esteem.
Because brain injuries are quite serious, personal injury attorneys can
help victims seek compensation after being hurt because of another's
negligence. Compensation can be used for lost wages, loss of earning
capacity, medical bills, and pain and suffering. To learn more about how
we can help you if you have recently suffered a brain injury, fill out
