What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
According to the Mayo Clinic, traumatic brain injury occurs when a violent blow or jolt to the head causes damage to the brain.
This could include damage to the brain cells or the brain tissue, bruising, bleeding, and other harm to the brain’s structure.
Brain injuries can be fatal or can cause serious symptoms and lasting damage.
Your life can be forever impaired, and you may need extensive medical care or be unable to work, or both.
Symptoms of Brain Injuries
Brain injury cases can result in substantial compensation for many victims because the symptoms of TBIs are often severe and life-changing.
Some of the common symptoms of brain injuries include:
- Headache
- Vomiting or nausea
- Tiredness or sleeping less than usual
- Speech problems
- Balance problems
- Dizziness
- Ringing in the ears
- Bad taste in the mouth
- Blurred vision
- Depression
- Memory problems
- Mood changes
- Concentration problems
- Convulsions or seizures
- Inability to awaken from sleep or short-term or long-term loss of consciousness
- Slurred speech
- Lost coordination
- Finger and toe numbness
Sometimes, you will get better or at least some of your symptoms will fade.
In other situations, you will suffer long-term impairment that could make it impossible for you to work, maintain your relationships, or even live independently.
Common Causes of Arlington Brain Injuries
Brain injuries happen due to trauma. They can occur as a result of open or closed head injuries, and the Mayo Clinic says leading causes of these injuries include:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle crashes
- Bike accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Falls
- Injuries due to sports play
- Acts of violence
In many situations, the incident that led to the TBI was the result of negligence and should have been prevented.
For example, a property owner who is negligent about security could be responsible for acts of violence to visitors or tenants, while a school whose coaches don’t respond appropriately to head injuries in sports could be liable for resulting losses.
Obviously, in car accident claims, a driver who breaks the rules of the road could also be responsible if a crash caused a TBI to occur.
Monge & Associates can help you to determine if someone else was to blame for causing your brain injury and can work with you in your pursuit of justice to ensure that those individuals or companies that damaged you are responsible for compensating you for losses.
Compensation Available for TBI Victims
Compensation for TBI victims can include some or all of the following different kinds of damages.
- Economic Damages: These are measurable damages for things like missed work, reduced earning power going forward, and medical care.
- Non-Economic Damages: These are damages that affect your life but can’t be measured in money, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, diminished quality of life, or loss of companionship when relationships change.
- Punitive Damages: These are to punish defendants. They are rare, but possible if the defendant intentionally caused brain injury or was grossly negligent in disregard for your safety.
Monge & Associates will fight to help you to get all of these different kinds of compensation and will be there for you at every step of your claim to maximize the chances you’ll be “made whole.”
