Traumatic
brain injury (TBI) can be a serious problem. Each year, TBI
contributes to a large number of death and disability cases all over
the country. According to the CDC, at least 1.7 million people are
diagnosed with TBI each year in the United States.
What
is TBI?
TBI
can be caused by a blow, bump, or jolt to the head, or a piercing
injury to the head that disrupts normal brain functions. It can
result from falls, participation in sporting events, or accidents
such as an automobile collision.
What
are the symptoms of TBI?
A
person who suffers from TBI may present with physical and
psychological symptoms. The severity of the symptoms may range from
mild (sporadic and brief changes in mental capacity or consciousness)
to severe (amnesia or long periods of unconsciousness). Oftentimes,
symptoms appear immediately, although there are cases when TBI
symptoms appear only after weeks or months have passed.
If
you have TBI, you will have to face head on all the physical,
emotional, and financial burdens imposed on you by your condition.
It’s only fair to receive compensation from those responsible. A
knowledgeable personal injury lawyer will be able to help you recover
compensation for the pain and suffering associated with your injury.
