Common Traumatic Brain Injury FAQs

What Is TBI? A Traumatic Brain Injury Definition

A traumatic brain injury — known commonly as TBI — is the dividing line between a serious injury and an injury where a dramatic change has occurred in the health and well-being of the victim. Before a TBI a person might be given a bill of “normal health.”

After a traumatic brain injury, there is a noticeable shift that can be measured by doctors, experts, and/or health practitioners. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that TBIs can be caused by a “bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury” and that children and the elderly are at the highest risk.

Signs of TBI in a Car Accident: The Essentials on Head Injury Trauma

Brain injury can occur when something strikes your head, or if your head moves violently and suddenly like in a whiplash injury, or if your head hits something, like hitting the steering wheel in a car wreck or the floor in a fall, the road in motorcycle accidents, or in many other ways. Some head injury trauma is more serious than others, but there’s no safe level of brain injury. Common causes of catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries are:

Motor vehicle collisions
Falls, especially in the elderly and children
Violence (domestic abuse, elder abuse, child abuse, crime, etc.)
Explosive blasts (job-related, military service, etc.)

If you or a loved one has been in an accident or in some event that may have caused a head injury it’s very important to seek medical care immediately. Some symptoms may not appear until weeks after the injury, so it’s difficult to know if you have sustained a brain injury without a thorough doctor’s examination.

TBI Treatment Begins with a Diagnosis

It isn’t possible to determine the severity of a brain injury by the symptoms present at the time the event which caused the injury occurred. For instance, if you have been in a car wreck, you could be exhibiting symptoms right away, or they might not occur for hours or days. It is important that you receive medical care even if you think you only sustained a minor injury.

Also, brain injury symptoms can last for a short time, or linger indefinitely. Possible symptoms include, but are not limited to:

Loss of consciousness
Loss of memory
Dazed or confused state
Headache
Being sleepy or tired
Insomnia
Anxiety
Depression
Irritability
Mood swings
Sensitivity to light or sound
Ringing in ears
Bad odor
Bad taste
Loss of equilibrium
Nausea
Vomiting

If your brain injury is mild, the symptoms should go away within hours, days, or weeks. Both severe and moderate brain injury can result in an unconscious state that might take days or weeks to go away. Severe brain injury can produce an unconscious state which may or may not improve.

Symptoms of Severe Brain Injury Include, But Are Not Limited To:

Coma
Vegetative state
Semi-consciousness
Locked-in syndrome (awake and aware but cannot move anything but the eyes)
Akinetic mutism (cannot move or speak)
Brain death (the brain is dead but the patient can be kept alive physically with machines)

Brain Injury Symptoms May Not Be Obvious

You may not know you’ve sustained a brain injury because symptoms, even for serious injuries, can show up later. In almost half of brain injury cases, a patient’s condition worsens after they’ve been hospitalized, due to a complex cause and effect in the injured brain, where the primary injury affects other parts of the brain, injuring them like dominoes collapsing one against the other.

Some secondary injuries include:

Bleeding inside the skull
The increased fluid inside the skull
Infection
Chemical changes leading to injury or death
Brain damage

We focus on all the injuries associated with your accident, including those that do not show up right away. Taking this step helps us bring you the fair compensation that you require to cover all of your losses and preserve your quality of life.

TBI Rehabilitation May Be Lengthy

Brain injury recovery could take weeks, months, or years. Depending on the type of injury you have, some areas of the brain could be permanently changed. Physical recovery, that is the recovery of the injured tissue, is faster.

The other part of recovery is to relearn skills or learn to compensate for skills that you may never get back. Your doctor or case manager can give you guidance on where to go for rehabilitative services, but a big part of traumatic brain injury treatment and recovery is to find out what, if any, permanent damage there is, then learn about what you can do to compensate for it. Some services you may need include:

Physical therapy
Cognitive therapy
Speech therapy
Occupational therapy

Recovery can be slow or uneven, with good and bad days. Some things you will have little control over, but there are ways you can work to affect the outcome of your long-term well-being. A few of these are:

Doing things that you enjoy
Finding interesting things to occupy and stimulate your mind
Practicing good nutrition when you eat
Getting lots of rest
Avoiding stress
Avoiding alcohol and other addictive substances

Accidents are stressful. If you’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury, you need to do all you can to relieve your stress so you can begin to heal. But there’s no way to know how serious your injury is with a traumatic brain injury because secondary injuries may occur in the days and weeks after your initial trauma.

Investigate the Facts

We understand the importance of clearly showing what happened in your accident. This requires us to dig into the details that allow us to support your side of the story. Our investigation may lead us to:

Speak with witnesses
Go over your police report
Check for surveillance video footage
View the scene of the accident
Work with experts who understand TBI cases

We get to work immediately when you contact us following a TBI accident, allowing us to collect evidence before it disappears. Speaking with witnesses right away helps us get statements before their memories fade.

Focus on Responsibility for Your Accident

In order to secure compensation for your losses, our team focuses on establishing liability for the accident. We understand the legal responsibility to show that:

Someone owed you a duty of care.
They violated or ignored this duty.
Their actions directly led to your accident.
You suffered injuries or other losses as a result of the accident.

The individual we focus on depends on the facts of your injury. In some cases, we may pursue compensation from another driver in a car accident. In other cases, our team may work to bring you compensation from a property owner who failed to clean up a hazard, resulting in a slip-and-fall accident.

Learn more about the specifics of liability and fault in TBI accidents by reaching out to a traumatic brain injury attorney serving Kentucky today.

Focus on Recovering Funds to Cover All Your Damages

As mentioned, TBI accidents may leave you with substantial financial losses. We explore all the losses involved in your case and track them on your behalf, so you can focus on recovering from your injuries. We look past the immediate losses you sustained and focus on future damages, as well.

Handle Insurance Agents

In many cases, our team handles cases outside of the court system when it comes to TBIs. We may bring you a settlement from the insurance company to cover these losses, helping you avoid court fees and resolving the claim more quickly.

We recommend that you allow a Kentucky traumatic brain injury lawyer to handle all communication with insurance agents. These representatives may use the information you share against you. We can advise you throughout the negotiation process, protecting your claim.

We also assess all settlement offers made by insurance agents to ensure they cover your losses. These companies primarily focus on protecting their bottom line, not looking out for your best interests. Allow us to stick up for you and seek maximum compensation in your case.

Monitor All Deadlines for Your Claim

There’s a statute of limitations for filing cases in civil court, depending on what type of case it is and other factors such as when the victim was injured and/or knew about their injury. In most cases, the clock starts ticking the moment the injury occurs.

For example, Kentucky usually grants you a year to file a personal injury claim. It is crucial to talk to an experienced brain injury lawyer as soon as possible.

We Don’t Get Paid Until We Resolve Your Case

We believe that when you have been injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence or wrongful act, you shouldn’t have to pay any money to obtain fair and just compensation. Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers will represent you on a contingency fee basis. We don’t get paid until you do.
