The last thing you want to worry about after a traumatic brain injury is how to obtain compensation that may be necessary for the remainder of your life or the life of an injured loved one. The lawyers at WILL Trial Lawyers have decades of experience helping clients who have incurred a serious head injury from an accident.
A brain injury always begins with a physical trauma to the head as a result of a violent blow or jolt from shaking or spinning. An object penetrating the skull, such as a shattered piece of skull or debris, can also cause a traumatic injury to the brain. The results can be serious, including brain dysfunction which can be temporary, long-term or permanent. More serious traumatic brain injuries can entail bruising, torn tissues, bleeding and other physical damage. Brain injuries often occur as a result of a car accidents, slip and fall, or a sporting accident. If your injury has been caused by the wrong-doing of another party, you may want to consider speaking with a lawyer at WILL Trial Lawyers about your options.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a severe and often life-altering condition resulting from a sudden blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. TBIs can range from mild concussions to more severe forms, causing a wide spectrum of physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral impairments. The consequences of a TBI can vary greatly, affecting an individual’s ability to think, communicate, and perform everyday tasks. These injuries demand careful medical attention, rehabilitation, and, in many cases, legal support to secure necessary resources for recovery and ongoing care.
Immediately after sustaining a brain injury, a person may experience a loss of consciousness or a few moments of confusion. This is usually followed by other symptoms such as a headache, ringing in the ears, loss of balance, blurring of vision, and nausea. A brain injury victim can become sensitive to light and to loud noises, have short-term memory loss, difficulty finding words, and can lose their train of thought easily. Difficulty concentrating, processing information, and organizing the day is common. He or she may also experience major or minor mood swings, irritability, and sleep disturbance.
Brain injury symptoms can also sometimes occur in a mind that still functions well on other levels. The injury can often be subtle whereby a casual observer cannot see the symptoms but a spouse, friend or relative may detect them quickly. Realizing that they cannot do what they used to do, a victim can experience frustration, loss of self-esteem, and often depression.
