Let us help you hold the responsible party accountable.

What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury occurs when a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury causes damage to the brain. These injuries can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage with lifelong effects.

TBIs are often caused by:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• Falls
• Physical assaults
• Sports injuries
• Workplace accidents
• Defective products

Types of Brain Injuries

Primary injuries occur at the moment of trauma and include:

• Skull fractures – Cracks or breaks in the skull, which can lead to bleeding or brain swelling.
• Intracranial hematomas – Blood clots inside the brain caused by ruptured vessels.
• Contusions – Bruising of the brain tissue.
• Coup-contrecoup injuries – Brain damage on both sides due to sudden back-and-forth motion.
• Diffuse axonal injury – Tearing of nerve fibers from rotational force, often seen in car accidents.

Secondary injuries develop hours or days later and may include:

• Cerebral edema – Swelling that increases pressure inside the skull.
• Hydrocephalus – Fluid buildup in the brain.
• Ischemia – Reduced blood flow, which may cause stroke.
• Hypoxia or hypotension – Lack of oxygen or low blood pressure, starving the brain of nutrients.

Symptoms of a TBI

TBI symptoms vary depending on severity. Common signs include:

• Headaches or dizziness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Blurred vision or sensitivity to light
• Memory problems or confusion
• Fatigue or drowsiness
• Mood changes or depression
• Loss of consciousness
• Speech difficulties

Severe symptoms may involve:

• Seizures
• Coma
• Slurred speech
• Loss of coordination
• Persistent headaches
• Dilated pupils
• Numbness in limbs

If you experience any of these after a head injury, seek immediate medical attention.

We investigate every case thoroughly to determine who is liable and pursue full compensation on your behalf.

Diagnosing and Treating Brain Injuries

Prompt diagnosis is essential. Doctors may use CT scans, MRIs, or neurological exams to assess the extent of the damage.

TBI treatments may include:

• Medication
• Surgery
• Cognitive therapy
• Physical or occupational rehab
• In-home care or long-term support

Mild TBIs may resolve with rest and monitoring. More serious cases often require months—or years—of recovery and rehabilitation.
