Traumatic Brain Injury is very serious
It can occur in a variety of ways. Brain injury can
occur when there is a rapid acceleration and
deceleration of the brain as in whiplash or shaken
baby syndrome. This type of injury is sometimes
referred to as a "closed head injury". Brain injury
can also result when the head comes into contact
with another object as in a motorcycle accident or a
blow to the head. Unlike a closed head injury where
it may not be possible to tell that the person is
injured just by looking at them, this type of brain
injury usually has outward manifestations of injury
such as a skull fracture. The injuries that result
from brain injury can be long lasting and sometimes
difficult to prove, especially when there aren't
outward physical manifestations of the injury. In
fact, a mild traumatic brain injury can be
sustained, yet routine neurological examinations
will be normal.
Traumatic Brain Injury has many symptoms
Someone who has suffered a brain injury may
experience physical, cognitive and behavioral
problems. Physical symptoms that result from brain
injury include lethargy, fatigue, headache, vision
problems, and sleep disturbance. Cognitive problems
that may be due to brain injury include inability to
concentrate or pay attention, difficulty with
memory, difficulty with planning, and trouble either
understanding or producing speech. Behavior problems
resulting from brain injury include, mood swings,
irritability, and lack of inhibition. Many of these
problems may be attributed to depression, when they
are in fact a result of the brain injury. This is
especially true in instances of mild traumatic brain
injury since there may be little other evidence of
physical injury.
Traumatic Brain Injury is hard to diagnose
For that reason it can be hard for a person who has
suffered a traumatic brain injury to recover
adequate damages for their injuries. It can be
difficult to prove the lasting physical effects of
brain injury to the satisfaction of a judge or jury
when there are no apparent physical injuries and
when neurological exams return normal results.
You need a qualified brain injury attorney
Because of this it is a good idea to consult with an
attorney who has experience with traumatic brain
injury cases. An attorney with prior experience in
this area is more likely to be aware of the
multitude of long-term effects that can plague a
brain injury victim. He or she also has experience
with effective methods of proving the impact of
these effects to juries.
