What is a Brain Injury?

Brain injury is defined as damage to the tissues and blood vessels in the brain, usually sustained as a result of trauma to the head. Depending on the severity of the injury, the victim may suffer debilitating physical, intellectual, and emotional impairment. Often this will last a person’s lifetime. Estimate show that more than 1.5 million people suffer brain damage each year in the United States, and that the brain injury damage is often caused by the actions or negligent inactions of wrongdoers. In these cases, it is mandatory for Brain Injury victims to work with brain injury attorneys to ensure that they receive fair compensation for their brain injury.

The problems associated with brain injury differ in type and severity, depending on the nature and cause of the injury. Brain trauma injury can usually fall into the categories of either traumatic brain injury (TBI) or acquired brain injury. Our lawyers in Los Angeles and La Quinta represent clients who have suffered from both types of brain trauma. This page contains very generalized information for brain injuries.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), is usually caused by a jolt or hammering blow to the head, as may be caused during assault, battery or in a car accident, bus accident, or truck accident. The severity of a brain injury can cause conditions ranging from a brief change in victim’s consciousness to extended unconsciousness, amnesia, coma or other serious skull injury.

Traumatic brain injury can differ:

Concussions occur when the head hits an object violently, and the skull remains intact and even undamaged. Usually, concussions are not regarded to be life threatening, but can be dangerous for people who endure them repeatedly, such as some professional athletes, like boxers.

Penetrating brain and head injuries happen when an object enters the brain tissue after piercing the skull.

A skull fracture occurs when any part of the skull is cracked or broken. A more severe form, called a depressed skull fracture, is from broken bone fragments entering the brain mass.

A hematoma is a blood clot that forms on the surface of the brain. It can be extremely dangerous as it grows and causes pressure against the sensitive brain.

Acquired Brain Injury

Brain injury can also occur when the brain is deprived of oxygen, causing acquired brain injury. Causes of acquired brain injury are stroke, heart attack, or near drowning. Certain cases of birth injury, in which the baby’s oxygen flow is restricted for several minutes due to negligence on the part of a doctor, cause brain injury and may even be actionable as a medical malpractice, or elder abuse case.

The life-changing repercussions of a traumatic brain injury may make one feel hopeless, helpless, and frustrated. Scientific brain injury research continues to provide hope through the science behind preventing and treating traumatic brain injury and mild brain injury. In the meantime, the attorneys at our Los Angeles and La Quinta firm may be able to help you take some control of your future by helping you receive the compensation and solace that justice offers.

Brain Injury: Leading Cause of Death or Permanent Disability in America

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), claim that brain injury is among the most likely types of injury to cause death or permanent disability. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), acute trauma at the work-place remains a leading cause of death and disability among U.S. workers.
