A brain injury is one of the most traumatic and devastating injuries you can sustain in an accident. Unlike other injuries that can cause physical damage to the affected part of the body, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can interfere with the functioning of other parts of the body, cause behavioural changes, and lead to cognitive disability.
As an accident victim, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for the injury you have sustained. Any expenses that may result from your injury, including medical bills, long-term care costs, pain and suffering, amongst others, may be the obligation of the liable parties. As experienced personal injury lawyers, we can help you recover the money you deserve.
A brain injury is any damage to the brain that results from physical trauma to the head. Trauma to the head can cause skull fractures, internal hemorrhages, tearing of brain tissue, and numerous other complications.
Brain injuries are broad, and they range from mild concussions that last for a few hours to severe brain tissue damage that results in permanent disability and mental impairment.
The most common causes of head trauma and brain injuries include:
If you or your family member sustains a traumatic brain injury due to an accident or someone’s negligence or misconduct, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation. Some of the damages you may obtain are for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, caretaker costs, and future health needs, among other things. Working with an experienced personal injury lawyer who’s well-versed with the claim process and the legal matters involved is essential. They can guide you throughout the brain injury claim process, protect your rights, and help you obtain what you’re rightfully owed.

The symptoms that accompany a brain injury vary depending on the type and severity of trauma sustained. They range from mild symptoms such as a slight headache and dizziness to severe ones such as seizures, slurred speech, loss of motor function, and more.
In some cases, after being in an accident, the first mild injury symptoms present and disappear after a while. This makes some victims presume that they’re fine, only for severe symptoms to show up afterwards. In other cases, a brain injury comes with little to no symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose. This is why it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention after sustaining a blow to the head for proper assessment and treatment.
Here’s a list of traumatic brain injury symptoms.
