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.
