Traumatic Brain Injuries
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) often occurs when an outside force traumatically injures your brain. If you have suffered a brain injury, contact a qualified personal injury lawyer to discuss your options.
Causes
These severe brain injuries are typically caused by falls, automobile accidents, or blows to the head. However, a TBI is not always caused by your head colliding with an object. It is possible to suffer a brain injury by internal damages, including:
- Insufficient oxygen to your brain
- Insufficient blood flow to your brain
- Poisoning
- Tumors
- Infection
The outcome of a TBI depends on many factors. The location of your injury and the degree of impairment will play a large role in whether your damage will be temporary or permanent, and the extent of which you will be able to resume the same activities you enjoyed prior to the accident.
A traumatic brain injury often impairs one of more of the following areas:
- Cognition: This includes your attention, concentration, memory, perception, judgment, mood and reading and writing abilities.
- Sensation: This can be your tangible senses like touch and things like vision and hearing problems.
- Movement: This encompasses your endurance, strength, balance and coordination. It can also cause you to experience tremors and have difficulty swallowing.
