Whether from a car accident, slip and fall, workplace incident, or any other form of trauma, the effects of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be profound, lasting, and often devastating. At Gunn | Slater, we understand the challenges that individuals and families face when dealing with the aftermath of a brain injury, and we are dedicated to securing the compensation and justice you deserve.

What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

A traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force causes damage to the brain. This can result from a blow, bump, or jolt to the head or a penetrating injury that disrupts normal brain function. TBIs range from mild concussions to severe brain injuries that can result in permanent disability or even death.

Common causes of traumatic brain injuries include:

Car accidents: Collisions, rollovers, and sudden stops can all cause traumatic injuries to the brain.

Falls: Slips, trips, and falls, particularly in workplaces or on unsafe premises, are leading causes of TBIs.

Workplace accidents: Especially in industries like construction, manufacturing, and transportation, head injuries are unfortunately common.

Sports injuries: Contact sports or recreational activities can put athletes at risk of concussions and other brain injuries.

Violence: Assaults, domestic violence, or any form of intentional harm can cause traumatic brain injuries.

Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury

The symptoms of TBI can vary widely depending on the severity and location of the injury. While some symptoms are immediately noticeable, others may not appear until days, weeks, or even months after the injury. These symptoms may include:

Physical symptoms: Headaches, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, sensitivity to light or sound.

Cognitive symptoms: Memory loss, confusion, difficulty concentrating, difficulty finding the right words, or problems with decision-making.

Emotional and behavioral changes: Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, depression, personality changes.

Sleep disturbances: Insomnia, excessive sleeping, or difficulty falling asleep.

If you or a loved one has experienced any of these symptoms following an accident or traumatic event, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately. A proper diagnosis and early intervention can help mitigate long-term effects and improve recovery outcomes.
