What are traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)?

A traumatic brain injury can take the shape of many different types of injury and range in severity from minor to life-threatening. For example, one of the most common types of brain injury is a concussion. Concussions can happen in many situations and if you hit your head after a vehicle hit you or if the vehicle came into contact with your head and you “only” got a concussion, you likely will not be facing long-term damage. That said, you should not write the injury off as unimportant. Even if your doctor states that you only received a concussion from your accident, you may still be facing high medical bills, time off work, lost wages, and pain and suffering. These realities are important to document and will have an impact on your legal options. Therefore, it is important to inform our Bristol, TN motorbike accident lawyer if you have suffered a concussion as a result of your accident.

How does a TBI affect me?

TBIs can have many different effects on accident victims.

• Physical Signs. Especially if your injury was a laceration of some kind, you may be dealing with a wound healing which could take months to fully heal. There may be other obvious physical signs of a TBI including problems seeing and problems being able to write or communicate with others.

• Mental/Emotional Signs. In addition to the physical signs, there are also mental/emotional signs you may be dealing with. Your cognitive functioning may be temporarily or permanently ruined because of a TBI. Your ability to make decisions, your ability to plan for the future, being able to recall memories from the past, and even being able to reason a problem out logically may be impaired. Further, you may show signs of a complete personality change or develop certain sleep problems or anxieties that you need to seek counseling for.
