Effects of TBI
A traumatic brain injury often has a devastating impact on a person's life, even if the injury is classified as mild. It is not unusual for a person with a mild TBI to retain most physical and cognitive abilities while suffering from debilitating depression or personality changes.
TBI patients may also experience headaches, vision loss, amnesia, dizziness or loss of consciousness. The person's motor skills and speech may be impaired. In the most serious instances, a TBI may cause a coma or wrongful death.
Causes of TBI
According to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of TBI; car accidents are the second most common cause. Any accident with sufficient force can cause an impact trauma, such as a bump, blow or jolt to the head, which may disrupt the normal function of the brain. A penetrating head injury can also cause TBI.
Depending on the severity of the injury, symptoms may not present until weeks or months after the accident. In these cases, you need an attorney's help to prove that the accident caused your injury. We will work with medical experts to demonstrate that your TBI originated with the accident or other trauma you experienced.
