What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when the brain is injured by a sudden force or trauma that causes it to tear, bruise, or swell. An anoxic brain injury occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen. Every year, thousands of people suffer traumatic and anoxic brain injuries.
Most traumatic brain injuries are caused by someone else’s negligence and are typically the result of:
- Slip and falls (for people ages 65 and over)
- Car accidents (for people ages 64 and under)
Many anoxic brain injuries are suffered by infants as the result of medical negligence such as:
- Improper delivery associated with fetus malpresentation (breech, transverse)
- Umbilical cord injuries, such as compression, prolapsed cord, entangled or knotted cord, cord wrapped around the neck or another body part
- Prolonged or arrested labor
- Baby stuck in the birth canal for excessive time
- Delay or denial of a caesarian-section
- Failure to properly and timely resuscitate the baby
Almost 1/4 of the individuals who suffer a traumatic or anoxic brain injury die. Many end up in a coma or other vegetative state.
Most others suffer permanent, irreversible brain damage and experience some type of long-term disabling effect, such as:
- Paralysis
- Seizures
- Blindness
- Memory loss
- Impaired communication, language, and perceptual skills
- Impaired balance, coordination, and fine motor skills
- Diminished strength and endurance
- Psychological disorders
Recoverable Damages
If you or a loved one has suffered TBI, you will need a lot of support. Financial compensation cannot undo the injury you sustained but it can help you recover.
Individuals who have suffered traumatic or anoxic brain injuries at the hands of others may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Past and future physical pain, suffering, and disfigurement
- Past and future emotional distress
If your loved one died as the result of TBI or related complications, you may also be entitled to compensation for the deceased’s funeral expenses and your loss of companionship.
