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.
