Signs And Symptoms Of Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries can manifest in various ways, and recognizing the signs and symptoms early is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment. Common physical symptoms include:
- Changes in personality
- Difficulty concentrating
- Irritability
- Short-term memory loss
- Depression
The victim of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) needs more than emergency room treatment and post-trauma care. He or she may need extended therapy with a neuropsychologist or similar type of professional. The injured person may be unable to work and may require personal assistance.

Common Types Of Brain Injuries
There are several types of brain injuries, each with varying severity. They include:
- Concussion: This is the most common TBI, often caused by a blow to the head, leading to temporary loss of brain function.
- Contusions: These are bruises on the brain resulting from direct trauma and may require surgical intervention if severe.
- Diffuse axonal injury: This injury occurs when the brain’s nerve fibers are torn due to rapid acceleration or deceleration, often leading to permanent damage.
- Penetrating brain injury: This happens when an object pierces the skull, causing extensive damage.
Each type requires prompt medical attention and, often, long-term care. We know how to pursue damages for clients who have suffered these and other catastrophic injuries.
Common Causes Of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can happen in almost any kind of accident. We have seen clients who have suffered catastrophic brain injuries due to:
- Auto accidents
- Motorcycle crashes
- Truck-car collisions
- Train-car collisions
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Falls and collisions at construction sites involving cranes or scaffolding
- Accidents involving industrial machinery
The possibility of a traumatic brain injury is one reason why every injury victim should seek immediate medical assistance right away after an accident.
