What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury is a form of brain damage that occurs after birth and as a result of some impact to the head. This impact can be a jolt or blow to the head, as well as anything that causes a penetrating head injury. The location and severity of this impact will dictate how severe a TBI is.

Generally, TBIs are classified as:

  • Mild: Concussions are one of the most common types of mild TBIs. Even these mild traumatic brain injuries can have lasting and cumulative effects.
  • Moderate: While moderate traumatic brain injuries may have lasting complications, some of the damage may be reversible with the proper treatment.
  • Severe: These TBIs are typically marked by irreversible damage.

According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

  • Since 2006, hospitalizations and deaths due to TBIs have surged by more than 50%.
  • Each year, about 1.5 million Americans are newly diagnosed with a TBI.
  • Those younger than 4 and older than 75 have the greatest risk of suffering TBIs.

TBI Symptoms: Signs of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Unlike other catastrophic injuries, TBIs can have latent and elusive symptoms. Specifically, that means that:

  • It can take hours, days, or possibly even weeks before the symptoms of traumatic brain injuries become apparent.
  • Once TBI symptoms start to present themselves, they are usually generic. That can make these brain injuries difficult to diagnose—and easy to misdiagnose—in the early stages.

Given these facts about TBIs, it’s important to be aware of their symptoms so you can seek medical attention if you ever recognize them. Here are some of the most common symptoms of traumatic brain injuries.

Physical TBI Symptoms

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Dizziness and/or lightheadedness
  • Loss of balance and/or coordination
  • Motor control issues and nerve damage
  • Sleeping problems
  • Nausea and/or vomiting

Cognitive TBI Symptoms

  • Blurry vision and/or ringing in the ears
  • Confusion and difficult concentrating
  • Memory and thinking difficulties
  • Slurred speech or difficulty speaking
  • Anxiety and/or depression
  • Mood changes or mood swings

In the most severe cases, TBIs can result in loss of consciousness, seizures, coma, and potentially death.

No matter how severe a traumatic brain injury may be, TBI Attorney Drew Wills II can help the injured determine whether they are entitled to compensation—and, if so, aggressively advocate their rights to recovery.

What Causes Traumatic Brain Injuries?

Any number of events can cause TBIs, and in many cases, these events involve some type of negligence. When they do, the causes of traumatic brain injuries can include (and are not limited to):

Given that it can take time to recognize and diagnose TBIs, it’s crucial that accident victims:

  • Seek immediate medical attention after sustaining injuries: Even if victims don’t feel injured, medical professionals may be able to identify the early signs of TBIs. This can be the key to getting treatment ASAP, helping to prevent further complications.
  • Continue with all follow-up medical treatments: TBIs can require longer-term treatment, from physical and occupational therapies to speech therapy, cognitive therapy, counseling, and more. Following through with all necessary TBI treatments is pivotal to the best prognoses. It can also be critical to establishing the severity of the brain injury and, consequently, strengthening a current or future TBI case.
