Causes of Brain Injuries

There are many causes of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), but motor vehicle accidents are the most common. Brain injuries are caused by an impact on the head. It may be a penetrating impact, such as an object being forced into the skull during a crash, bullet wound, or closed head injury. With a closed head injury, the damage is done when impact trauma causes the brain to move around in the skull, harming various parts of the brain and potentially life-threatening swelling. Some people with a closed head injury are not aware of the extent of the damage for some time, leading to a worsening of the injury.

Complications of a Brain Injury

Brain injuries can lead to physical, mental, and emotional changes. These changes may be temporary, lessen, and disappear as the brain heals. However, they may be permanent, leading to a life-long struggle to deal with the consequences of the injury. A person suffering from a brain injury must obtain medical treatment as soon as possible after the harm is done and continue with ongoing care. This is critical to maximizing the chances of recovery, but it also builds a strong record of the cause of the injury and the impact on the person's life.

A brain injury may lead to some or all of the following medical conditions:

  • Physical injuries – A person may suffer from loss of motor control, paralysis (partial or complete), seizures, and hearing visual, scent, taste, or tactile impairment.
  • Cognitive injuries – A person who has suffered a brain injury may experience temporary or long-term memory loss, an inability to concentrate or make effective plans, and communication difficulties.
  • Behavioral changes – One of the most dramatic impacts of a brain injury may be a complete change in the personality of the injured individual. Other modifications may include severe mood swings, anxiety, depression, agitation, and sleeplessness.

Why You Need a Brain Injury Lawyer

These injuries often result in extensive medical bills that can be insurmountable over a lifetime for most people without a settlement or jury award. In addition, a person may never be able to work again after suffering a severe brain injury. It is crucial for a person who has suffered from this type of injury to undergo a complete medical evaluation to determine the likely long-term consequences of the harm. This can establish the compensation necessary for special damages, meaning that the financial loss is calculable and out-of-pocket. When addressing future losses, it is usually required to demonstrate those through an expert witness.

In building a case to help an injury victim obtain the compensation they deserve, carefully project what likely will happen to ensure that the person is not left without the funds required to seek the care they need. An experienced and compassionate Natomas Brain Injury Attorney will work tirelessly to achieve his clients' desired outcomes.

Natomas Brain Injury FAQ

How long does it take to recover from a severe brain injury?

There’s no time frame for how long it may take someone to recover from a severe brain injury, and there’s also no guarantee that someone with a TBI will make a full recovery. Some factors that may influence the length of someone's recovery time include the severity of the injury, age, early intervention, family support, quality of medical care, and more.


Can an old brain injury cause problems later in life?

Research indicates that it may be possible to experience problems months or years after suffering severe head trauma. Conditions such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy may result from multiple traumatic brain injuries over time. Those who had just one head injury may be at risk for post-concussion syndrome, which can cause dizziness, headaches, mood changes, memory loss, and other symptoms. Even those who suffered mild head injuries may be susceptible to these problems.
