How Most Traumatic Brain Injuries Occur

Traumatic brain injuries are the result of a violent blow or trauma to the head.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), traumatic brain injuries may occur as the result of:

  • Motor vehicle accidents including truck, 18-wheeler, and semi truck, bus, car, motorcycle, bicycle, moped, scooter, or pedestrian
  • Sports or recreation accidents
  • Physical attack
  • Whiplash
  • Construction, workplace, or industrial accidents

As TBI lawyers, we find that traumatic brain injuries are often due to someone’s negligence. If someone’s reckless action caused a traumatic brain injury to you or a loved one, please call a D. Miller & Associates, PLLC lawyer serving Deer Park: (713) 850-8600.

Prognosis for Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries range from mild (known as a concussion) to life-threatening. Recovering from a traumatic brain injury depends on several factors, including:

  • How quickly the patient received medical care, including emergency surgery to relieve swelling of the brain.
  • Severity of the blow or trauma.
  • If the skull was fractured in one or more places.
  • How long the patient was unconscious.
  • If the skull penetrated the brain causing swelling, bleeding, and brain tissue loss.
  • The patient’s age and overall health.
  • Secondary injuries, infection, or complications.

A moderate to severe traumatic brain injury may have prolonged or permanent changes to a person’s cognitive and physical well-being.

The Cost of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Some traumatic brain injury victims may have to relearn how to walk, talk, and perform daily functions. Each person is different, the more severe the injury, the less likely they are to return to pre-injury status.

Many traumatic brain injury patients need extensive medical and lifecare for long-term conditions such as:

  • Cognitive impairment and dysfunction
  • Seizures
  • Vertigo and/or dizziness
  • Nerve damage
  • Speech and language problems
  • Impaired sight and hearing
  • Disability including paralysis and mobility issues

Constant medical care and domestic services are expensive. That is why you should call a traumatic brain injury lawyer serving Deer Park to find out if you could recover damages for medical bills and other losses.
