Over a million people suffer traumatic brain injuries each year, and many of those people require medical treatment and hospitalization. In the U.S., approximately 16 million children go to an emergency department due to some form of injury every year. In some cases, traumatic brain injury, or TBI, causes temporary or even permanent disability and adversely affects every aspect of a person’s quality of life. Traumatic brain injuries are often categorized as either severe or mild. Severe TBI causes marked, easily observed problems. However, so-called “mild” TBI can have a devastating impact on a person’s life, even though the changes to the brain are subtle . Lawsuits involving these devastating injuries are complex. Cincinnati injury attorneys Donald C. Moore Jr., and Daniel N. Moore have a long history of representing brain injured accident victims in and out of court, fighting to get them full compensation.

Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries are injuries to the brain caused by blunt trauma or hard impact. These types of injuries are common in traffic accidents and worksite accidents. A traumatic brain injury can cause a variety of side effects, which range from minor to severe. Some possible side effects include:

  • Loss of senses such as taste or smell
  • Memory loss
  • Loss of the ability to reason or communicate
  • Concussion
  • Loss of consciousness for a period of time
  • Amnesia
  • Inability to speak or write
  • Coma
  • Personality changes
  • Depression
  • Loss of emotional control

These are just a few of the more common TBI effects. There are many other less common problems associated with TBI cases.

Warning Signs of Traumatic Brain Injury / Concussion

A concussion is a specific type of traumatic brain injury caused by a sudden impact or blow to the head. Although concussions are mild at times, they are serious conditions that necessitate close monitoring for any side effects. Some warning signs of concussion include fatigue, headache, dizziness, weakness, vomiting or nausea, sensitivity to light or noise, blurred vision, slurred speech, insomnia and other unusual behaviors. If you suspect you have suffered a concussion, you should seek medical treatment right away.

Damages for Traumatic Brain Injuries

A person who files a personal injury claim seeking compensation for a traumatic brain injury sustained in an accident may be entitled to several different types of damages. For instance, a person may be able to recover the costs of medical treatment and hospitalization that occur because of the traumatic brain injury. Other types of injuries that may be available through a personal injury action include lost wages, lost earning capacity, loss of ability to do normal activities, emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life.
