How Do Brain Injuries Occur?

The brain is a delicate organ that is protected by the skull. It may be damaged by force, such as when a violent blow happens to the skull, or it is punctured. When this occurs, it is known as a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The brain can also be damaged internally from lack of oxygen, toxic substances, blood clots, tumors, and other situations that cause cellular damage to the brain. This is called an acquired brain injury (ABI). In terms of personal injury cases, the majority will involve traumatic brain injuries, but there are some situations, such as surgical malpractice, assault by strangulation, and workplace incidents involving the inhalation of toxins, which can cause acquired brain injuries as well. Common situations that can result in brain injuries include:

• Motorcycle or automobile accidents
• Domestic abuse or assault
• Medical malpractice
• Playground accidents
• Slips and falls
• Sports injuries
• Trucking accidents
• Workplace accidents
• Exposure to chemicals or toxins

What Are the Physical Effects of Brain Injuries?

Traumatic brain injuries are categorized into three groups: mild, moderate, and severe. This labeling is a little misleading, though, because a mild traumatic brain injury is still a serious medical issue that requires immediate attention. The levels refer to the amount of damage done to your brain tissue. A mild brain injury may only affect your brain cells for a while, and you can potentially heal from it. In moderate to severe brain injuries, the brain tissue may be bruised, torn, bleeding, or otherwise damaged. Moderate to severe injuries are much more difficult to heal from and can take a lot of time and rehabilitation. They may also cause permanent disability or be life-threatening. Symptoms of brain injury may include, but are not limited to:

• Anxiety
• Brain swelling
• Changes in personality
• Chronic, severe headaches
• Coma
• Coordination issues
• Depression
• Difficulty speaking
• Dizziness
• Insomnia
• Light sensitivity
• Memory loss
• Mood swings
• Nausea
• Post-traumatic amnesia
• Seizures
• Vertigo
• Vision loss

What Economic and Emotional Consequences Can Result From Brain Injuries?

A brain injury can turn your life completely upside down. Even a mild brain injury will require medical intervention and time off work to heal. In more severe cases, you may face surgery, long hospital stays, and months of rehabilitation just to regain a portion of the abilities you had before the accident. You may find yourself disabled and struggling to make ends meet due to lost wages and hefty medical bills. This, coupled with damage to the brain caused by the injury and constant pain, can lead to severe depression and anxiety, sometimes causing difficulties in your interpersonal relationships. The challenges can feel insurmountable. But you don’t have to go through this alone. A skilled attorney can help you get the justice and compensation you deserve for your injuries. From lost wages to medical expenses to compensation for your pain and suffering, we believe in holding the individuals or entities responsible for your head injury accountable, so you can be made whole again.
