What is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

Any blow to the head, penetrating head injury that interferes with brain functioning or a jolt that causes the brain to hit the front or back of the skull that causes bruising is considered Traumatic Brain Injury. Lasting brain damage can be caused by brain bleeds, brain swelling that puts pressure on fragile tissues and/or small tears that sever neural connections.

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) range from mild to severe. The effects can range from temporary pain to long-term pain and functional problems. Medical treatment and rehabilitation can accumulate a large amount of medical bills and cause an enormous amount of stress for the victims’ families. The best thing you can do for yourself or a loved one that is a victim of TBI is to contact an attorney that has experience with the causes and effects of Traumatic Brain Injuries. Let the attorney guide you in the appropriate direction and determine the best course of action for your case.
