A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is caused by sudden physical damage to the brain (not including injuries that are hereditary, congenital, or degenerative). This type of injury can be manifested by, but not limited to, loss of consciousness, memory loss, or a change of mental state at the time of the accident (feeling dazed or confused).
The damage to the brain may be caused by the head forcefully hitting an object such as a windshield or the dashboard of a car, or by something passing through the skull and piercing the brain. A closed head injury is another type of TBI caused by the brain unexpectedly moving forward or backward, shaking or twisting.
Common symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury in adults are low grade head/neck pain, problems with memory and/or concentration and simple decision making, slowness in speaking, increase in confusion, loss of energy, changes in sleep patterns, vertigo, increased sensitivity to sounds, blurred vision, and mood changes to name a few.
The physical, financial and emotional costs suffered by survivors of a TBI are often devastating. The problem is compounded by the fact that people with TBI often look outwardly fit and healthy despite severe disabilities.

Brain injury is a subject that should generally be taken seriously. As opposed to even more frequent physical injuries, brain injury has a much higher rate of permanent damage and mortality. Traumatic brain injury cases are complex, requiring ongoing legal and medical expertise. It is important to have legal help at these times, and you want a team with the experience and resources to do all that is necessary to protect your rights. contact Rick Terrana at 813.874.0522 to discuss the specifics of your case.
