Experienced Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Attorneys in Woodstock, GA

What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

In 2020, TBI-related hospitalizations reached approximately 214,110, and tragically, in 2021, there were 69,473 TBI-related deaths.

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury to the brain caused by an external force. This can happen from a blow, bump, or jolt to the head, or when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue.

A TBI can disrupt normal brain function, leading to temporary or permanent impairments in physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functions. The severity of a TBI can range from mild (concussion) to severe, depending on the extent of the damage.

TBI Causes

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can arise from various incidents, but often stem from a forceful external impact to the head. Automobile accidents are a frequent culprit, as are falls.

For instance, during a car crash, an individual might forcefully strike their head against the vehicle’s interior. Additionally, a sudden and drastic deceleration in a car wreck can also cause a TBI.

This abrupt change in speed can lead to a violent backward snapping of the head, resulting in injury to the brain.

TBI Symptoms

Symptoms vary widely depending on the severity and location of the injury. They can include:   

  • Physical: Headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, balance problems, vision changes, speech problems, seizures, weakness or numbness.   
     
  • Cognitive: Memory problems, difficulty concentrating, confusion, slowed thinking, impaired judgment.   
     
  • Emotional/Behavioral: Irritability, anxiety, depression, mood swings, changes in personality, difficulty controlling emotions.  
     
  • Sensory: Changes in hearing, taste, or smell, increased sensitivity to light or sound.   
     
  • Sleep: Fatigue, drowsiness, insomnia, sleeping more than usual.   
     

It’s important to seek medical attention if you suspect a TBI, as the effects can sometimes be delayed or underestimated.
