A TBI is usually caused by a specific event such as a forceful blow to the head or body. The injury may not be immediately apparent. The nature of an injury from this type of trauma can take days or even weeks to fully present itself. However, the consequences of a TBI can affect every aspect of a person’s life.
When the head comes into violent contact with another object, or an item penetrates the skull into brain tissue, brain cells can become temporarily or permanently damaged. As a result, a TBI can affect a person physically, emotionally, and cognitively. A mild TBI may be temporary and heal on its own. However a more severe TBI can result in physical changes to the brain that require long-term care and, in some circumstances, lead to wrongful death.
Brain injuries heal differently than other injuries. Sometimes, the recovery occurs in ways that are not completely understood, so an individual’s ability to function and prognosis often can be uncertain. While an injury to another body part is typically isolated, a TBI can alter a person’s personality and mental abilities in many different ways. The injury can have far-ranging effects that can be difficult to predict.
While a brain injury can happen as the result of an infinite number of scenarios, the following are the most common causes:
As our personal injury attorneys have seen over the years, the careless and reckless actions of individuals often serve as the underlying causes. We work hard to hold those individuals accountable and to pursue the compensation which TBI victims and their families deserve.

An open head injury is the result of an object penetrating the skull. This type of injury often occurs in the context of an assault or during combat. Two types of open head injuries include:

The symptoms of a mild TBI include:
Symptoms of moderate to severe TBI include:
