Traumatic brain injuries impact millions of people each year, and they can be particularly devastating when they are caused by negligence or carelessness. If you believe the negligence of an individual or organization resulted in your traumatic brain injury or TBI, you may have grounds for a lawsuit.
Nature of Traumatic Brain Injuries
The human brain is an overwhelmingly complex organ, but it is also fairly soft and vulnerable even with protection from the skull. Traumatic brain injuries are often caused when the brain sustains a strong, concentrated amount of direct or indirect force. This type of impact can stem from sporting activities, car crashes, slips and falls, and even workplace accidents. Some brain injuries, such as concussions, are relatively mild and usually do not prevent individuals from returning to their normal lives. On the other hand, traumatic brain injuries can leave a lasting impact on the sufferer, who may not be able to live a normal life ever again after their accident.
