Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries Accident Victims May Suffer
According to the Cleveland Clinic, thousands of people in the U.S. suffer TBIs each year. The two general types of TBI are penetrating TBIs (where a sharp object penetrates the skull and enters the brain) and blunt TBIs (where something hits the head and causes the brain to bounce or twist inside the skull).
TBIs can be mild, moderate, or severe. A mild TBI is typically called a concussion. Experiencing one concussion generally isn’t life-threatening, and most people recover within a few days or weeks. However, suffering multiple concussions can cause permanent brain damage in some cases.
Moderate and severe TBIs generally cause loss of consciousness of anywhere from 30 minutes to over 24 hours. People who suffer moderate or severe TBIs often have long-term effects due to damaged brain cells that can no longer function correctly.
Potential Effects of a TBI
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, the potential effects of a TBI are wide-ranging and may include:
- Cognitive issues, such as memory loss, confusion, and a short attention span
- Motor deficits, such as weakness, paralysis, poor balance, or tremors
- Sensory problems, such as vision/hearing issues or loss of sensation
- Communication deficits, such as difficulty speaking or problems with reading and writing
- Functional issues, such as an impaired ability to bathe, eat, or otherwise care for oneself
- Social challenges, such as misunderstanding social cues
- Regulatory issues, such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, or loss of bowel or bladder control
- Personality changes, such as irritability, anxiety, depression, or impulsivity
The amount of compensation you deserve for your TBI may vary greatly depending on how your brain injury affects you and the extent of medical care you will likely require in the future. Your Athens TBI lawyer can explain what to expect in your unique situation.
