A brain injury is often a lifelong chronic problem with potentially devastating effects. Traumatic brain injuries are usually classified on a scale including mild, moderate, or severe.
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). And concussions are a very common injury from a vehicle collision. A concussion can occur even if the head does not have direct impact with the vehicle. It does not require a banging of the head to incur a concussion, the violent shaking of the head that occurs in many collisions is enough to cause a concussion. If your brain injury is the result of another persons negligence, then you may have a case for personal injury claim.
Brain injuries can be challenging to diagnose and may not manifest for some time after the accident. Brain injuries can cause changes in a person’s personality and affect their quality of life. You may need specialized care and support for your daily living. Brain injuries can significantly affect a person’s physical and emotional health. You may experience long-term health issues and may require extensive medical treatment during your recovery.
A severe TBI will need referrals to medical experts like neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, and neurosurgeons.
You may also experience financial hardships as the injuries caused by an accident may render you unable to return to work or need workplace accommodations.
