Traumatic Brain Injuries from Car Accidents

Traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, are among the most serious outcomes of a car crash. They can affect memory, movement, emotions, and even basic functioning. If you or a loved one suffered a TBI in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation.

How TBIs Happen

These injuries often result from the head hitting the steering wheel, window, or dashboard, or from sudden deceleration that causes the brain to move within the skull.

Common Symptoms

  • Loss of consciousness
  • Confusion or disorientation
  • Persistent headaches
  • Memory problems
  • Vision or hearing changes

Diagnosis and Treatment

Brain injuries often require imaging tests like CT scans and long-term care that includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, and medications.

Legal Compensation

Victims may recover damages for medical care, ongoing treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and reduced quality of life. A lawyer can help gather expert testimony and fight for full compensation.
