Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the more severe and common injuries that occur in an accident. Over a million people suffer a TBI every year, and many of these accidents are because of another person’s negligent actions. Whether your traumatic brain injury is mild, moderate or severe, The Berish Law Firm, P.C. brings an unparalleled approach to vigorously pursuing TBI cases.
HOW TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES AFFECT YOU
Even if an accident does not appear to cause any damage to a person’s physical exterior, brain trauma can severely affect what goes on in the victim’s mind. The Berish Law Firm, P.C. can help you achieve justice if you or a family member has suffered a traumatic brain jury.
Effects of TBI include:
- Feeling “just not right” in the days after any violent collision
- Suffering from headaches or fuzzy or blurry vision
- A change in the amount of sleep (both more than normal and less than normal)
- An inability to concentrate, including abnormal sensitivity to noise or light
- Behavior changes like becoming easily irritable or excessively emotional
- Speaking in a slurred or slower than normal manner
- Difficulty communicating such as finding the correct words to say or understanding others when they speak
- Persistent anxiety
Both the head injured victim and his or her family will feel the pain of a traumatic brain injury. The injured person must cope with the confusion, pain and turmoil of head trauma, and his or her family members must learn to live with a person who is not the mother, father, son or daughter they once knew. The financial impact is also great, with ongoing treatments and medications causing medical bills to pile up, while the injury might prevent the victim from working or obtaining health insurance.
CAUSES OF TBI
Any impact to the head can result in a traumatic head injury. These impacts can result in a broken skull or a violent collision between your skull and brain, which can cause blood clotting or tears in the brain.
Like with spinal cord injuries, the causes of traumatic brain injury are numerous and varied. Some of the more typical causes include:
- Falls, which can result from wet floors or dangerous conditions on someone else’s property
- Vehicle accidents like car wrecks or truck accidents
- Another person striking or pushing you
- Recreational activities like bicycling or sports
