What Are the Causes of Brain Injuries?

Brain injuries can be blunt force injuries to the head — for example, car crashes where a person’s head strikes the dashboard, or construction accidents where heavy materials fall on a worker’s head. In these instances, the driver responsible for the crash or the company overseeing the construction site could be held liable for the injury. However, other types of sudden movements that involve rapid acceleration, deceleration, or change in direction can also cause trauma to the brain. Unfortunately, even minor impacts or traumas can substantially affect brain function.

How a Brain Injury Can Affect Your Life

Victims of brain injuries can experience a wide range of symptoms. The brain is a very complex organ, and even similar injuries can cause different outcomes in different people. Some common symptoms of traumatic brain injuries include the following: Balance problems Confusion or other cognitive issues Speech disruptions Headaches Memory loss Seizures Personality changes Depending on the severity of the brain injury, symptoms may resolve in days or weeks, or they may last much longer. Some brain injuries can cause permanent damage. Many brain injuries are clearly identifiable on CT scans, but this is not always the case. Mild and moderate brain injuries may not show up on diagnostic scans, so cognitive testing and observation may be required to form a diagnosis.

Charleston, WV Brain Injuries

That’s why the brain injury attorneys at Morgan & Morgan in Charleston work with leading neurologists and psychologists in West Virginia and across the country to help brain injury victims recover the compensation they need.
