Each year, over 1.4 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (“TBI”). TBI’s often result from a blow to the head which damages the brain. Many brain injuries are sustained as a result of car accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, playground and daycare accidents, workplace accidents, and many other types of incidents. Many of these brain injuries are caused by the negligence of someone else and wind up causing long-term and/or permanent cognitive problems.

Many times, the person suffering from the brain injury is not fully aware of how the injury is affecting their life. It is usually a family member, close friend or co-workers who notice how the traumatic brain injury is affecting the injured person. Brain injury victims often show overt signs of injury such as concussion, loss of consciousness, coma, or a vegetative state. These types of injuries manifest themselves with additional signs or symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, irritability, speech problems and changes in personality and demeanor, vision problems, sexual dysfunction, anxiety and depression.

Before resolving any personal injury claim involving a brain injury, it is imperative that the injured person undergoes a complete neurological workup by a competent specialist to determine the extent and permanency of the brain injury. Even so called “mild” traumatic brain injuries can lead to serious cognitive problems that can last many years. Sometimes, these brain injuries never fully resolve. That is why these types of cases are a serious matter that can be devastating to the injured victim. If you have suffered a brain injury due to the negligence of someone else, it is imperative that you hire an experienced lawyer that can help you determine the true value of your case and fully recover for your damages.
