According to the Brain Injury Association of America , a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the disruption of brain function caused by a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. It is important to note that not all impacts to the head lead to a TBI. However, not all blows or jolts to the head result in a TBI.

The severity of such an injury may range from “mild,” i.e., a brief change in mental status or loss of consciousness to “severe,” i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury. A TBI can result in short or long-term problems with independent function.

There are two main types of brain injury:

1. Closed Head Injuries: This happens when there is no break in the skull, but the brain still has damage from inside like in a concussion. It can be caused by sudden, forceful movements, resulting in bruising, tearing of brain tissue, and blood vessel damage. Examples include car accidents, slip and fall incidents, and shaken baby syndrome.

2. Penetrating Head Injuries: This involves a break in the skull, allowing an object to directly impact the brain. Examples include gunshot wounds or objects penetrating the skull.

Both types of brain injury require immediate medical attention and can have serious consequences on a person’s quality of life.

Sadly, some people suffering from brain injury might sometimes be unaware of the extent of their injuries. In fact, the emotional distress and financial burden of surviving a brain injury takes a toll not only on the brain injury victim but also on the entire family. Often people need a long duration of rehabilitation and physiotherapy sessions too.

This can result in huge medical bills which may send anyone under huge debt. A traumatic brain injury can be caused by falls at home, automobile accidents, domestic violence, assault, or medical issues. Such an injury can take place with anyone. However, toddlers, young adults, and older citizens are more prone to such injuries.

• Nearly 50,000 people die from traumatic brain injuries in the U.S. every year.
• Of all injury-related deaths, traumatic brain injuries constitute 30% of cases in the U.S.

• Falls (28%)
• Motor vehicle-traffic crashes (20%)
• Struck by/against (19%)
• Assaults (11%).
• Blasts are a leading cause of TBI for active-duty military personnel in war zones.
• Males are about 1.5 times as likely as females to sustain a TBI.
• The two age groups at highest risk for TBI are 0 to 4-year-olds and 15 to 19-year-olds.
• Certain military duties (e.g., paratrooper) increase the risk of sustaining a TBI.
• African Americans have the highest death rate from TBI.

Often in an accident, people hitting their heads often result in brain injuries. Slip and fall accidents and motor vehicle crashes are some of the most common causes of traumatic brain injuries.

Some of the major symptoms associated with traumatic brain injury include:

• Fatigue
• Memory loss
• Headache
• Vision loss
• Hearing problems
• Vertigo
• Insomnia
• Permanent disability
• Emotional and personality changes
• Cognitive issues
• Motor-sensory losses
• Loss of coordination
• Loss of consciousness

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that at least 3.17 million Americans currently have a long-term or lifelong need for help to perform activities of daily living as a result of a TBI.

According to one study, about 40% of those hospitalized with a TBI had at least one unmet need for services one year after their injury. The most frequent unmet needs were:

• Improving memory and problem solving
• Managing stress and emotional upsets
• Controlling one’s temper; and Improving one’s job skills

TBI can cause a wide range of functional changes affecting thinking, language, learning, emotions, behavior, and/or sensation. It can also cause epilepsy and increase the risk for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other brain disorders that become more prevalent with age.

Often people who are struggling with a patient having traumatic brain injury (TBI) are struggling at their wit’s end to make sense of the situation. The injury can be a physical, mental, emotional, and financial burden on the entire family.

Have a proper support system. Having a head injury lawyer by your side who specializes in traumatic brain injury claims can have the case properly evaluated and assessed to ensure that you get adequately compensated for the brain trauma.

Understanding what caused the accident and proper documentation of evidence can strengthen your personal injury claim from insurance companies. The extent of the injury and the ability of the patient to function efficiently, even in the future, is important to be assessed accurately to comprehend what compensation would be adequate. Since living with TBI can require continuous medical care and therapy, having an experienced traumatic brain injury attorney can improve your chance in court.
