Understanding Brain Injury Cases
Brain injuries can occur in various ways, including accidents, falls, and acts of negligence. They are classified into two main types:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Caused by external forces, such as blows to the head or violent shaking.
- Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI): Resulting from non-traumatic causes like strokes, infections, or lack of oxygen.
Common causes of brain injuries include:
- Car accidents
- Slip and fall incidents
- Sports injuries
- Workplace accidents
- Medical malpractice
The Impact of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries often have severe physical, cognitive, and emotional consequences, such as:
- Memory loss
- Impaired motor skills
- Difficulty with speech and communication
- Emotional instability or personality changes
- Chronic pain or seizures
The financial burden of brain injuries can be overwhelming, including expenses for medical treatment, rehabilitation, and loss of income. Pursuing legal action is often essential to ensure victims receive the support they need.
