A traumatic brain injury is a severe injury to the head
that results in serious and often irreversible damage to
the brain. For many individuals a brain injury may go undetected
for a period of time, presenting itself several weeks after
the accident. The brain is an extremely complex organ that
allows us to move, breathe, communicate, display emotions
and process information. A blow to the head can cause the
brain to be shaken or moved inside the skull and significantly
alter any one of these vital functions.
In 2001, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported
that 80,000 Americans suffer from long term disabilities
each year as the result of traumatic brain injuries. The
following are some of the serious consequences that a brain
injury victim may experience:
- Difficulties with word finding
- Loss of memory
- Loss of reasoning abilities
- Loss of voluntary and involuntary motor functions
- Paralysis
- Seizures
- Sensory loss
- Speech problems
- Word finding difficulties
There are over 5 million people currently living in the
United States who have suffered from brain injuries. The
most common cause of traumatic brain injuries is motor vehicle
accidents. Other incidents that can cause injury to the
brain include falls, diving and swimming accidents, abuse,
and gun violence.
Depending upon the severity of the brain injury, your life
will change in many ways. You may no longer be able to independently
care for yourself, work, enjoy your favorite hobbies, or
perform even the simplest daily activities.
If you have been the victim of a brain
injury accident, you may be entitled to monetary compensation
for your injuries and injury related expenses, such as medical
and hospital costs. Contact Reiff & Bily today for a
