TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY ATTORNEY
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

Traumatic brain injuries, also known as (TBIs), can have a significant negative impact on a person’s professional and personal lives. The majority of TBIs are the consequence of blunt force injury to the head or restricted blood flow to the brain.

Approximately 1.7 million people suffer a TBI each year in the United States, with roughly 70,000 people becoming long-term disabled. TBIs are classified as mild to severe, with some folks getting back to “normal” after a short time and others developing permanent brain damage.

What if TBI symptoms are not apparent?

It’s easy to mistake a mild brain injury for something else. It is typical for physicians assessing a potential head injury to underestimate how bad one is. In the legs, people recovering from a TBI might experience subtle mood changes, vision problems, or sensation changes. They might also have memory loss, cognitive function impairment, confusion, fog in their brains, depression, anxiety, or word loss. Because each person will feel these symptoms differently, TBI instances are inherently difficult to prove.

What if I have a Minor Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI)?

A “mild traumatic brain injury,” or “MTBI,” is the same as a TBI. Although an MTBI may not be life-threatening, these injuries can have a significant impact on a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It’s critical to pay attention to any unusual symptoms. If left untreated or disregarded, the damage might worsen and symptoms could grow more severe with time.
