What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is any injury to the brain that occurs after birth. Also known as acquired brain injuries, TBIs often result from a catastrophic accident or event.
There are two categories of TBI:
- Open-Head Injury: An open-head injury, also known as a penetrating brain injury, occurs when the scalp or skull is broken or pierced by a foreign object. Open-head injuries are extremely serious and highly likely to be fatal. Examples of open-head brain injuries include gunshot wounds, knife wounds, and skull fractures.
- Closed-Head Injury: A closed-head injury occurs when the brain is damaged due to strong or violent forces, but the head itself does not appear injured. Closed-head brain injuries, such as concussions or coup-contrecoup injuries, are more difficult to detect than open-head injuries, but they can be just as serious.
While both open-head and closed-head injuries are considered catastrophic, closed-head brain injuries are often viewed as more dangerous simply because they are harder to detect. As a result, closed-head TBI victims may not receive critical medical attention as quickly as those who suffer open-head injuries.
What Are the Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury?
Because closed-head brain injuries can be difficult to spot at first glance, it’s important that you know the signs of a traumatic brain injury. If you suspect that you or anyone else may have sustained a TBI, seek medical attention right away.
Brain injury symptoms vary depending on the type of injury and its severity. However, some common TBI symptoms include:
- Loss of consciousness
- Short- or long-term memory loss
- Headache, especially one that gets worse or persists
- Dizziness/nausea
- Confusion
- Disorientation
- Inability to remember the accident
- Difficulty speaking (delayed responses, slowed speech, etc.)
- Blurred vision
- Ringing in the ears
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating/thinking clearly
- Changes in mood or behavior
- Nervousness and anxiety
- Depression
- Irritability
These symptoms may appear immediately after the injury, or they may take hours, days, or even weeks to develop. Closely monitor yourself or your loved one after a suspected brain injury and do not wait until symptoms appear or worsen to seek medical attention.
Who Can File a Brain Injury Claim?
Often, brain injuries occur due to traumatic accidents and events. In many cases, these incidents are entirely preventable.
If you or your loved one suffered a brain injury due to the negligent or wrongful conduct of another person or party, you could be entitled to file a personal injury claim. If successful, this claim will allow you to recover compensation for damages related to the injury, such as medical bills (including future medical expenses), lost income/wages from time taken off work, lost earning ability due to disability, lost future earnings, and pain and suffering.
To determine if you have grounds to file a brain injury claim, ask yourself the following:
- Did another person, company, or entity act negligently or wrongfully?
- Was this negligent or wrongful conduct the cause of your brain injury?
- Did you suffer measurable damages as a result of your injury?
At the Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A., our Orange Park traumatic brain injury lawyers can help you determine whether you have grounds for a case. We work with a team of 6 in-house investigators and over 100 support staff members who help us conduct thorough investigations and reconstruct accidents to determine who was at fault.
