Traumatic brain injuries are often the result of a sudden, violent and abrupt force to the head or severe whiplash. They can result from a number of situations. We typically see Traumatic brain injury lawsuits stemming from car crashes, falling objects, physical assaults or medical malpractice.
The National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) developed this basic definition of what constitutes a traumatic brain injury:
“Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. A person with a mild TBI may remain conscious or may experience a loss of consciousness for a few seconds or minutes. Other symptoms of mild TBI include headache, confusion, lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision or tired eyes, ringing in the ears, bad taste in the mouth, fatigue or lethargy, a change in sleep patterns, behavioral or mood changes and trouble with memory, concentration, attention or thinking.”
“A person with a moderate or severe TBI may show these same symptoms, but may also have a headache that gets worse or does not go away, repeated vomiting or nausea, convulsions or seizures, an inability to awaken from sleep, dilation of one or both pupils of the eyes, slurred speech, weakness or numbness in the extremities, loss of coordination and increased confusion, restlessness or agitation.”
Should any of the above apply to your head injury, you may have the right to pursue legal action against the responsible party, if their negligent behavior directly resulted in your traumatic brain injury.
If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury, you can seek damages through personal injury litigation if the other party in the case acted negligently. You will need to prove one of the following in the case to succeed with your claims against the other party:
If your traumatic brain injury lawyer can prove any of the above, you may be entitled to receive compensation for a number of damages. Those include:
