What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
A traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden impact, jolt, or penetration disrupts normal brain function. TBIs can range from mild concussions to catastrophic injuries that cause permanent disability or death.
Common symptoms include:
- Memory loss or confusion
- Headaches or migraines
- Difficulty concentrating
- Mood or personality changes
- Speech or vision problems
- Loss of coordination
- Seizures or loss of consciousness
Because symptoms may not appear immediately, brain injuries are often misdiagnosed or underestimated, making legal representation critical.
