Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a type of brain injury that results from an outside force, such as a blow or jolt to the head. The brain damage that results from a TBI can range from mild to severe and may be temporary or permanent. Common types of TBIs include concussions, contusions, and diffuse axonal injury (DAI).
Treatment for a TBI depends on the severity of the injury. Because brain injuries can be difficult to detect, especially at first, it is highly recommended that you visit a doctor if you believe that you may have suffered any kind of head injury. When it comes to a TBI, it is far better to be safe than sorry.
Identifying Causes & Symptoms of TBI
Any outside force that affects one’s head can cause a traumatic brain injury. Such head trauma can include a blow to the head, an object penetrating the brain, and a sudden jolt.
The leading causes of TBIs are:
- Falls
- Being struck by or against an object
- Traffic accidents
- Assault
Even if your head hasn’t bumped against anything or been penetrated by an object, you can still suffer from a TBI. Whiplash, which is caused by the rapid back and forth movement of the neck and often occurs during car accidents, is a major cause of TBI. This is because when whiplash occurs, the brain moves back and forth inside the skull and may become bruised.
Common symptoms of traumatic brain injuries include:
- Confusion and disorientation
- Difficulty sleeping
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Loss of concentration
- Loss of consciousness, however brief
- Nausea or vomiting
- Short-term or long-term memory loss
- Speech or hearing impediments
- Temporary or permanent loss of intellectual capacity
- Changes in personality and temperament (especially becoming more withdrawn or hostile)
We have handled many brain injury cases, achieving many excellent results for clients with all levels of impairment.
Recovering Damages After a TBI
The damages you can recover as a result of suffering a TBI may vary depending on the severity of your injury. If the brain injury was minor, your medical bills probably aren’t too expensive; however, if you or a loved one has suffered permanent brain damage, then you may require long term if not permanent care and treatment.
Your lawyer will help you determine how much compensation you require in order to be fully covered for your injury.
The types of damages you can recover include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Physical and cognitive therapy costs
- Lost wages from time taken off work
- Property damage repairs
- Wrongful death
