What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
Traumatic brain injury is an injury to the head, leading to minor or severe damage to the brain. TBI can range in severity from mild concussions, which are usually temporary, to severe brain damage that is permanent and potentially causes death. The impact on the brain may affect normal brain function, leading to a variety of symptoms with varied severities, including:
- Loss of consciousness; memory loss and/or confusion; headache or migraine
- Slurred speech or difficulty speaking
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Sensory changes, such as blurred vision or ringing in the ears
Brain injuries are most commonly caused by accidents, including car crashes, falls, sports injuries, workplace accidents, and assaults. In many instances, these result from the negligence or recklessness of others, giving the ability to pursue a personal injury claim to recover compensation.
Types of Compensation
If one has an injury to the brain because of somebody else’s carelessness, there are different forms of compensation available. These may include:
- Medical Expenses: Damages for past and future medical expenses, to include any surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, therapy, and medication one has to take.
- Lost Wages: The inability to go to work could mean entitlement to compensation for lost wages, including even future earning capability.
- Pain and Suffering: Damages for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injury.
- Loss of Quality of Life: If your brain injury impacts your ability to engage in ordinary activities, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of enjoyment of life.
- Wrongful Death: If your loved one has died as a result of a brain injury, you may be entitled to wrongful death damages, which can include funeral expenses, loss of consortium, and more.
