Motorcycle accidents

Acts of violence, such as assault and battery, gun shots

Medical malpractice

Shaken Baby Syndrome

Types of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury classifications include:

Oxygen deprivation or acquired brain injury results when the brain does not get sufficient oxygen, causing brain cells to be damaged.

Closed head injury can occur when the brain bounces against the inside of the skull when the head suffers a blow or it jerked or shaken excessively.

Open head injury happens when the skull is compromised and the brain is punctured, typically from an object.

Warning Signs of a Traumatic Brain Injury

Symptoms that a TBI has occurred can be obvious or subtle and include:

A headache that doesn't go away and increase in pain intensity

Seizures

Vomiting

Dilated pupils

Numbness in arms and/or legs

General confusion

Blurry vision

Slurred speech

Shifts in temperament or behavior

Ringing in the ears

Life After a Traumatic Brain Injury

After a person sustains a traumatic brain injury, daily, work and family life can change dramatically. Any recovery may take years. And unfortunately, medical expenses and the reality of short- and long-term loss of income can shatter financial security well into the future.

However, if the TBI was caused by another party's negligence or wrongdoing, a victim may be able to receive monetary compensation for:

Past, current and future medical costs

Emotional and physical suffering

Loss of income now and in the future

Ongoing therapy and rehabilitation costs
