A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, happens when a sudden hit, jolt, or blow to the head disrupts the way your brain normally works. It can also happen if something actually goes through the skull and damages brain tissue.
TBIs can be mild, like a concussion, or much more serious. Even a “mild” brain injury can affect how you think, feel, or move. More serious injuries can lead to long-term problems or permanent damage, depending on which part of the brain is hurt and how badly.
There are three general types of TBIs:
Every brain injury is different, but all of them should be taken seriously. If you or someone you love has suffered a TBI, understanding what it is can help you take the next steps, especially if someone else’s actions caused the injury.
Traumatic brain injuries can happen in a wide variety of ways. At Biggs & Greenslade, we’ve helped clients recover from TBIs caused by:
Sudden stops or impacts during a crash can cause the brain to jolt within the skull, even without direct contact. These are among the most common causes of TBIs.
Slip-and-fall accidents, stairway falls, or falling from heights (such as ladders or scaffolding) can cause serious head trauma.
Falling tools or materials, equipment malfunctions, or structural collapses frequently result in head injuries on construction sites.
TBIs from physical assaults are unfortunately common and often go undiagnosed.
Malfunctioning airbags, helmets, or other safety devices can contribute to or fail to prevent head injuries.
Each of these scenarios requires its own legal strategy. Our attorneys know how to tailor each case to the circumstances that led to the injury.
One of the biggest misconceptions about TBIs is that they only happen after a blow to the head. In reality, a sudden jolt - like the whiplash in a car accident - can cause the brain to move violently inside the skull, resulting in injury.
That’s why even if you didn’t hit your head, you should watch for symptoms like:
Never assume a head injury is minor. Some symptoms may be subtle at first but can worsen over time. If you suspect something’s wrong, seek medical care, and talk to a lawyer who understands brain injuries.
Unlike some other injuries, the effects of a brain injury are often invisible but no less devastating. TBIs can affect every part of your life:
