what Is A Traumatic Brain Injury?
WHAT IS A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) typically results from a violent blow to the head that causes permanent or significant disability or another health condition. Even slight damage to the brain can lead to permanent changes, so it is rare for any brain injury not to be considered “traumatic.” At the same time, “mild” TBIs, such as concussions, can also have long-lasting consequences.
Our approach to your case depends on factors such as the cause of your brain injury and whether it is mild or severe. Through our investigations, we will work to determine the cause of your TBI and hold the responsible party accountable.
Leading causes of TBIs include:
- Auto accidents: Thousands of car accidents happen every day around the country. High-impact collisions are a leading cause of preventable brain injuries.
- Falls: What might seem like a simple slip-and-fall accident may result in a lifelong brain injury, depending on how the victim lands. Additionally, a fall from a height, such as from a defective ladder, can result in a traumatic brain injury.
- Construction accidents: Construction sites are rife with potential dangers, from heavy machinery and equipment to elevated structures and scaffolding. Accidents can occur due to a variety of factors, including negligence, faulty equipment, or inadequate safety measures.
how Can You Tell If A Tbi Is Mild Or Severe?
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF A TBI IS MILD OR SEVERE?
If you are in an accident that impacts your head, seek immediate medical attention. Only a skilled medical professional like a doctor or neurologist can make an accurate diagnosis and determine if you suffered a traumatic brain injury, its severity, and the appropriate treatment plan.
Typically, a mild brain injury can cause migraines, memory loss, and insomnia, which are all concerning. However, a moderate to severe brain injury can cause symptoms such as speech or motor impairment, cognitive deficits, and profound memory loss.
Compensation in a TBI case may include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost income – present and future
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering and other non-economic damages, such as diminished quality of life
