Campbell Brain Injury Lawyer | Brain Injury Lawyers in Campbell

Brain injury, synonymous with traumatic brain injury or TBI, occurs when sudden trauma caused by an outside force damages the brain. Examples of trauma that can lead to a serious brain injury include hitting your head against the floor or a hard object, or if an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue. In serious cases, or if the brain injury victim does not seek medical attention immediately, a TBI can lead to cognitive impairments, language difficulty, and even physical impairments.

The most common type of TBI is a concussion, which is generally considered a mild brain injury; however, a concussion can still cause ongoing problems without proper treatment. Symptoms that may result from a concussion or other mild TBI include headache, confusion, dizziness, blurred vision, ringing in ears, and fatigue. Behavioral and/or mood changes may also occur, as well as changes in sleeping patterns.

Moderate to severe brain injuries have more serious and long-term symptoms, including all those mentioned above, as well as repeated vomiting or nausea, seizures or convulsions, slurred speech, numbness or weakness of the extremities, increased confusion, loss of balance/coordination, and/or an inability to wake up from sleep.

There are a variety of risk factors that may increase the chances of suffering a brain injury, especially a concussion. Sports and physically demanding recreation activities, especially those that involve equipment such as balls, or that involve physical contact, such as football, increase the risk of suffering a traumatic brain injury.

Even riding a bicycle increases the risk of suffering a traumatic brain injury without taking the appropriate precautions. Many of the hazards that can cause TBI are, unfortunately, not within a person’s control, however. Even if you make sure to wear a helmet while riding a bike or to pay close attention to where you are walking, you can still be at risk of suffering a brain injury due to the actions of others.

Negligence on the part of drivers, property owners, product manufacturers, and other individuals can create hazardous conditions that can lead to falling accidents, auto accidents, and other incidents that can result in mild to serious brain injury.
