BRAIN INJURY
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)*: It can occur in a variety of ways.
TBI can occur when there is a rapid acceleration and deceleration
of the brain as in whiplash or shaken baby syndrome. This type of
injury is sometimes referred to as a "closed head injury".
TBI can also result when the head comes into contact with another
object as in a motorcycle accident or a blow to the head.
Unlike a closed head injury where it may not be possible to tell
that the person is injured just by looking at them, this type of
TBI usually has outward manifestations of injury such as a skull
fracture. The injuries that result from TBI can be long lasting
and sometimes difficult to prove, especially when there aren't outward
physical manifestations of the injury. In fact, a mild traumatic
brain injury can be sustained, yet routine neurological examinations
will be normal.

Someone who has suffered a TBI may experience physical, cognitive
and behavioral problems. Physical symptoms that result from TBI
include lethargy, fatigue, headache, vision problems, and sleep
disturbance. Cognitive problems that may be due to TBI include inability
to concentrate or pay attention, difficulty with memory, difficulty
with planning, and trouble either understanding or producing speech.
Behavior problems resulting from TBI include, mood swings, irritability,
and lack of inhibition. Many of these problems may be attributed
to depression, when they are in fact a result of the TBI. This is
especially true in instances of mild traumatic brain injury since
there may be little other evidence of physical injury.
For that reason it can be hard for a person who has suffered a
traumatic brain injury to recover adequate damages for their injuries.
It can be difficult to prove the lasting physical effects of TBI
to the satisfaction of a judge or jury when there are no apparent
physical injuries and when neurological exams return normal results.
Because of this it is a good idea to consult with an attorney who
has experience with traumatic brain injury cases. An attorney with
prior experience in this area is more likely to be aware of the
multitude of long-term effects that can plague a TBI victim. He
or she also has experience with effective methods of proving the
impact of these effects to juries.
