What types of damages can victims and their families expect when involved in Traumatic Brain Injury?

No amount of money can fully compensate someone for the pain they suffer as a result of a traumatic brain injury. However, as a victim of a TBI, you are entitled to damages to compensate for severe and permanent injuries sustained as a result. Those loses may include medical expenses, funeral costs, lost wages, and other damages that a jury sees fit to award. You need a firm that has experience trying these types of cases in court before real juries, not just settling them for pennies on the dollar.

What Causes Traumatic Brain Injury?

There are two basic types of brain injuries: Open & closed head injuries. In open head injuries, the skull is fractured. A closed head injury does not involve a skull fracture, but these injuries can be even more serious because the brain may swell or form blood clots under the skull. After any impact to the head, it is important to seek medical attention. Even an injury with minor symptoms could potentially have serious consequences if ignored. Symptoms of complications you should be alert to and take seriously after you have sustained a head injury include:

• Severe headache
• Confusion and difficulty remembering events
• Lightheadedness and dizziness
• Blurred vision or tired eyes
• Numbness or weakness on one side of the body
• Ringing in the ears
