Types of Brain Injuries

A brain injury affects each person differently. Both non-violent and violent injuries can result in serious head trauma.

• Non-Violent Injury: A brain injury can result from medical malpractice, hypoxia, meningitis, stroke, brain aneurysm, and blood clot.
• Traumatic Brain Injury: The two types of TBI include a closed head injury and a penetrating injury. A closed head injury is an injury where a severe blow to the head injures the brain, while keeping the skull intact. A penetrating injury occurs when a foreign object comprises the integrity of the skull.

Consequences of a Brain Injury

The challenges facing brain injury survivors and their families may last a lifetime. A TBI affects a person's cognitive ability, personality, emotional condition, and physical health. Some of medical conditions that our firm sees include:

• Physical injuries including vision loss, speech impairment, and seizures
• Cognitive issues including amnesia, impaired judgment, and diminished intelligence
• Behavioral and emotional problems like depression, and mood swings
