Personal Injury Claims For Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can happen due to any type of accident. They can occur due to even seemingly minor bumps, blows, or sudden jolts to the head and often have long-term impacts on your health and ability to engage in daily activities. When they happen due to the reckless actions of others involved, you have the right to hold those at fault accountable in a personal injury claim. Our Seminole personal injury attorney explains more about these injuries and the process for seeking compensation. 

Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injuries

When any type of bump, blow, jolt, or jarring of the head occurs, it can disrupt neural pathways in the brain. Referred to as traumatic brain injuries, or TBI, it is common in car crashes, slips and falls, and other types of accidents.

The Mayo Clinic warns that if a head or brain injury is suspected, you should seek medical attention immediately. TBI has the potential to be life-threatening but symptoms are often subtle at first. They include:

• Dizziness or momentary loss of consciousness;
• Difficulty remembering details surrounding an accident or how head injuries occurred;
• Blurred vision;
• Lack of coordination;
• Difficulty communicating or understanding what is being said;
• Throbbing or piercing headache;
• Excessive tiredness and being unable to stay awake.

Get The Compensation You Need To Recover From Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Traumatic brain injuries are one of the most common types of personal injuries. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than two million people require treatment for TBI each year, with reported costs of over $40 billion annually. Unfortunately, in addition to the high price of medical care, people with brain injuries often suffer long-term disabilities that can prevent them from working, now and for years to come.

When you suffer traumatic brain injuries in an accident in which negligence on the part of others is to blame, you have the right to hold them liable for expenses you incur as a result. Whether through insurance policies they have in place or by filing a personal injury lawsuit, the compensation you may be entitled to includes:

• Coverage of all current and future medical expenses associated with your injuries;
• Reimbursement for lost wages and future losses in earnings due to ongoing impairments;
• Additional amounts for pain, suffering, and any lost enjoyment in life you experience due to your injuries.
