What Causes a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) happens when something outside the body causes damage to the brain. This isn’t something you’re born with. It’s the result of an accident or impact.
There are two main types:
- Closed brain injury: The skull stays intact, but the brain is still hurt from a strong blow or movement.
- Penetrating brain injury: Something breaks through the skull and harms the brain directly.
Doctors also describe brain injuries based on how much of the brain is affected:
- Focal injury: Only one area of the brain is damaged.
- Diffuse injury: Several parts of the brain are affected.
Common causes of TBIs include falls, sports accidents, gunshot wounds, and assaults. In addition, car accidents are among the leading causes of traumatic brain injury. And it’s not hard to see why. In a serious collision, your head might hit the steering wheel or window. Even without a direct hit, sudden movement (like whiplash) can cause your brain to shake inside your skull, causing injury in different areas. In severe cases, debris from the crash can even enter the skull and damage brain tissue.
What Are Some Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury?
Now, what does a traumatic brain injury look like?
Brain injuries range from mild to severe. Some, like concussions, are temporary and cause few symptoms. Others result in major disability, coma, and even death.
Physicians classify traumatic brain injury symptoms as:
- Physical: Headache, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness
- Cognitive, behavioral, or mental: Memory changes, mood swings, insomnia, depression
- Sensory: Blurry vision, ringing in ears, photophobia (light sensitivity)
Other conditions, such as brain tumors or migraines, can also cause the above symptoms. But if your symptoms showed up not long after you suffered head trauma, you should see a doctor right away. And, if someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you should also contact a lawyer to understand your legal rights.
What Can a Houston Brain Injury Lawyer Do for Me?
When you’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury, you may initially have a few mild symptoms that you chalk up to stress or exhaustion. Frustratingly, a doctor might dismiss new symptoms that appear after a serious head injury: According to the Centers for Disease Control, traumatic brain injuries are often overlooked or misdiagnosed in the elderly, who are presumed to be showing signs of dementia or other age-related illnesses.
Of course, you might be seriously and permanently disabled following a traumatic brain injury.
No matter the extent of your injury, Ryan Nguyen will gather evidence to support your case. This may mean studying traffic camera footage, examining your medical records, consulting with medical professionals, taking witness statements, etc.
The approach he takes depends on the cause of your injury. Your brain injury could be the fault of a distracted driver, a poorly-maintained worksite, dangerous chemicals, an assault, or any number of other circumstances. Causes of traumatic brain injury that Ryan Nguyen has experience with include:
- Car accidents
- Explosions
- Medical malpractice
- Motorcycle accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
Remember: If you’ve suffered a head injury, seek medical treatment right away, even if you feel alright in the moment. Brain injuries can show up later and may cause lasting problems. In serious cases, they can prevent you from working again. That means you need someone in your corner to make sure justice is served and you’re well taken care of.
With Ryan Nguyen on your side, you’ll have a dedicated advocate who understands both the medical and legal sides of brain injury cases. He will fight to get you the support and compensation you need to move forward.
