Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are complex and life-altering conditions resulting from sudden impacts to the head or body. TBIs can have both short-term and long-term effects on an individual’s cognitive, physical, and psychological well-being.
TBIs are classified as mild, moderate, or severe, with symptoms ranging from brief disorientation to prolonged loss of consciousness and severe cognitive impairment. Common signs of TBI include headaches, nausea, speech difficulties, mood changes, and sensory sensitivities. Severe cases may involve persistent vomiting, seizures, loss of coordination, or even coma.
These injuries often result from a myriad of accidents such as vehicle collisions, falls, workplace incidents, or assaults. The effects can impact physical abilities, cognitive function, emotional stability, and social interactions. Victims may experience partial paralysis, chronic pain, memory issues, depression, or difficulties with basic tasks.
Compensation in TBI cases may include coverage for immediate and future medical treatment, lost earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering or loss of life enjoyment. In cases of egregious negligence, punitive damages may also be pursued.
For those affected by TBIs resulting from another’s negligence, seeking prompt legal counsel is advisable.
