Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occur when the brain is damaged as a result of a collision or puncture of the head. Sadly, the symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can be subtle when they first arise. Thus, a complete medical evaluation must be conducted immediately following a potential brain injury in order to protect your future safety and health and to also provide clear and concise documentation of when and how a brain injury occurred. Each year in South Carolina, TBIs result in 11,500 emergency room visits, 1,117 deaths and 2,800 hospital discharges.
Some of the typical causes of TBIs include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Car and motor vehicle accidents
- Sports accidents
- Assaults
- Head collisions with foreign objects and/or surfaces
A TBI can result in serious medical consequences and conditions, including:
- Memory loss
- Persistent headaches
- Vertigo
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Difficulty maintaining focus and concentration
- Loss of control over motor skills
- Hearing difficulties
- Loss of balance
- Cloudy eyesight and blurred vision
- Anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts
- Dementia
- Parkinson’s disease
- Epilepsy
- In more severe cases, coma or death
- Lack of bladder control
Your Brain Injury Legal Claim
When you or a loved one has suffered a TBI, there is a broad range of legal relief that can be pursued. However, this legal relief is dependent on the initial cause of the TBI. For example, a suit against another can be brought if a TBI was the result of that person’s negligent act(s).
Furthermore, if the TBI was the result of a violent act of another, such as an assault or battery, there would be a legal claim for recovery. It is also important to note that even a TBI that seems minor can have lasting impacts on the injured party, which may result in significant costs.
The following damages and compensation can be pursued in a brain injury suit:
- Medical bill payments
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability payments
- Loss of wages
- Any other costs that arose due to the TBI
