Suffering from a Traumatic Brain Injury?
Many accidents can result in serious and life-threatening injuries that may cause permanent damage to a person's life; a TBI is just one of these catastrophic injuries.
Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a TBI is simply defined as “a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury.” Thus, when a person is in an accident that involves some form of severe impact, such as a car crash or slip and fall accident, they could receive a blow to the head that results in a TBI.
Categorizing Severe Brain Injuries
Not all TBIs are the same. Less serious cases are generally classified as minor concussions, while severe cases can have lasting effects. That being said, even mild TBIs can greatly impact your day-to-day life, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Mild TBIs can cause the following symptoms:
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision
- Light sensitivity
- Difficulty with speech
- Difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue or drowsiness
- Insomnia
- Nausea or vomiting
- Loss of consciousness for seconds or minutes
- Memory issues
People with moderate to severe TBIs may experience the same symptoms indicative of a mild TBI.Symptoms unique to a moderate and/or severe TBI include but are not limited to:
- Coma
- Seizures
- Dilated pupils
- Profound confusion
- Problems with coordination
- Persistent or worsening headaches
- Persistent bouts of nausea or vomiting
- Clear fluid draining from the ears or nose
- Weakness or loss of sensation in the extremities
- Loss of consciousness for minutes or hours
- Acting unusual, such as very angry
- Permanent loss of mental capacity
Should I File a Legal Claim for a TBI?
TBIs can accumulate many costly medical bills, especially for cases in which a person is unconscious for a very long time and must be monitored in an intensive care unit (ICU). Moreover, if you sustained a TBI, it is likely that you will miss time off work and any associated wages. You may also feel terrible emotional distress about what happened and require the counsel of a professional to get back to feeling like yourself. In short, there are myriad damages that a TBI may incur, but if you win a legal claim, you can recover these damages.
