Defining a Brain Injury

Because the brain controls so many parts of the body, brain injuries can affect almost every aspect of human functioning. Depending on which part of the brain is damaged, victims may be left with loss of sight, paralysis, cognitive impairment and a host of other ailments, some of which may require years of rehabilitation and/or lifelong care. With so much hanging in the balance, it is crucial that you have a brain injury attorney with the knowledge and foresight to create a well-crafted legal strategy that takes into account your projected future needs as well as your present ones.

Types of Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are, unfortunately, not uncommon in serious traffic accidents when very heavy vehicles collide, often while traveling at high speeds. The results of accidents involving motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians are, of course, all the more likely to result in catastrophic brain injury.

TBIs are classified as either:

  1. Closed when there is a blow impacting the skull that causes brain swelling or blood clots or
  2. Open when the skull is actually fractured by a fall or bang, or even by an object penetrating the skull.

Brain injuries are also categorized as mild, moderate or severe depending on how long the patient remains unconscious, confused or disoriented. In the most severe cases, the patient may be unconscious or comatose for a long period or even remain in a vegetative state.

Symptom of Brain Injuries

Not surprisingly, because of the far-reaching functions of the brain, brain injuries can result in a broad range of symptoms, including:

  • Loss of consciousness
  • Lightheadedness
  • Headache
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Dizziness, poor coordination, loss of balance
  • Confusion or loss of concentration
  • Memory loss or other cognitive problems
  • Blurred vision/sensitivity to light or sound
  • Sleep and balance problems
  • Mood or behavioral changes (e.g. anxiety, belligerence)
  • Fatigue or drowsiness
  • Difficulty speaking

It should be noted that children, especially preverbal children, may show different symptoms than adults since they can’t easily express what they’re feeling. They may manifest lack of appetite, unusual irritability, persistent crying, seizures, sleepiness, and disinterest in favorite activities or toys.

Long-Term Consequences of Brain Injuries

For the most fortunate victims of brain injuries, symptoms may be fairly mild and temporary. With rest and careful monitoring, they may be able to return to their normal activities. Many of our clients, however, are not so lucky. Much depends on whether the brain was deprived of oxygen and, if so, for how long. In some cases, of course, brain injuries result in wrongful death. In such cases, we will fight vigorously for the rights of the loved ones left behind.

If you have suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, you may need immediate surgery and a prolonged period of rehabilitation. Whether or not surgery is necessary in your case, one or more of the adult symptoms mentioned can continue to incapacitate you or restrict your ability to function. You may, for example, continue to have problems with balance or coordination, be partially or completely paralyzed, or continue to have seizures.

It is likely that you will require rehabilitative treatment for years to come, and may have to relearn tasks of daily living, such as walking, bathing, or dressing yourself without assistance.
Whatever your condition, once you become our client, you can depend on the team at Michael J. Redenburg, Esq. P.C. to advocate for you with the vigor and agility that has earned us national recognition. You can also depend on us to treat you with personal concern and respect.
