A blow or jolt to the head can occur in a vehicle collision, fall, construction accident, or other serious incident. Some symptoms emerge later, so medical follow-up and records matter.
Building the evidence
Our attorneys review the incident, medical records, witness accounts, work history, and care needs. We examine how the injury affects daily life and identify potentially responsible parties and insurance coverage.

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY ATTORNEYS
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability. Statistics show that these injuries contribute to about 30% of all injury deaths. Those who survive a TBI can face effects that last a few days, or the rest of their lives.
Long and short-term effects of TBI can include impaired memory, movement, sensation, or emotional changes like personality changes, depression. These issues not only affect individuals but can have lasting effects on families and communities.
WHAT IS A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY?
A TBI is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that disrupts the normal function of the brain. Not all blows or jolts to the head result in a TBI. A TBI may range from “mild” to “severe.”
Common types of traumatic brain injuries include:
- Whiplash
- Open Head Injuries
- Closed Head Injuries
- Post Traumatic Amnesia
- Anoxia/Hypoxia
- Contusions
- Concussion
- Subdural Bleeding
- Diffuse Axonal Injury
- Skull Fractures
WHAT ARE THE COMMON CAUSES OF TBI?
Falls account for 47% of all TBI-related ED visits, hospitalizations, and deaths in the United States, according to the CDC. Falls affect the youngest and oldest age groups most.
Being struck by or against an object is the second leading cause of TBI, accounting for about 15% of TBI-related ED visits, hospitalizations, and deaths in the United States.
Motor vehicle crashes are the third overall leading cause of TBI-related ED visits, hospitalizations, and deaths (14%). When looking at just TBI-related deaths, motor vehicle crashes were the third leading cause (19%).

Traumatic Brain Injury FAQs
Can symptoms appear after the accident?
Some effects may become noticeable later. Tell a medical professional about new or changing symptoms and keep a record of follow-up care.
What if the injury is described as mild?
A medical label alone does not describe every person’s recovery. The symptoms, care, and effect on daily life deserve individual attention.
What damages may be considered?
Depending on the facts, a claim may involve medical care, lost income, future needs, and other documented losses.
