What to Know About Traumatic Brain Injuries in Larimer County

 Posted on February 16, 2023 in Personal Injury

CO injury lawyerTraumatic brain injuries (TBI) are one of the most severe forms of personal injury that can befall a person. Tragically, these types of injuries can profoundly impact the lives of those suffering from them and their family. As a result, it is essential to understand the effects of such injuries and the potential legal ramifications of suffering a severe injury such as a TBI.

A traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force causes damage to the brain. This can happen for many reasons, including car accidents, sports injuries, falls, or even physical assault. Today, we will discuss the wide-ranging symptoms and effects of such injuries and the legal remedies available for someone who suffers this type of injury. If you have suffered a TBI and are wondering what legal options you may have, contact a personal injury attorney who will ensure that your rights remain protected and respected and that a positive case outcome can be pursued in your favor.

Symptoms and Effects of TBI

The extent to which someone is injured can play a significant role in the symptoms they experience. For example, if someone experiences a mild TBI, symptoms may include headaches, confusion, dizziness, and fatigue. However, more severe TBIs can lead to loss of consciousness, seizures, paralysis, and even death. TBI can have long-lasting and life-altering effects. In severe cases, individuals may experience various physical, cognitive, and emotional changes. These can include difficulty with balance and coordination, speech and language difficulties, memory and concentration problems, and changes in mood and behavior.

High Costs of TBI

The costs associated with treating TBI can be significant. Costs may include medical bills, rehab costs, and loss of income due to time away from work. Sadly, when someone suffers a severe TBI, it is often their family who are faced with taking care of their injured family member and their related needs. Because of this, when someone suffers from TBI, they or their family may be able to pursue compensation to handle better the high costs associated with severe head injuries. In addition, it is important to note that compensation is not only for medical bills and lost wages but can be for pain and suffering as well.
