Pittsburgh TBI Disability Lawyer

Complications from Traumatic Brain Injuries

Nearly 2 million people suffer from Traumatic Brain Injuries every year, according to the CDC, and many of them cause lasting complications. Closed head trauma, the most common type of Traumatic Brain Injury, occurs when the head experiences a jolt or blow, causing the brain to bump against the skull. Traumatic Brain Injuries cause disruption to normal brain function, and can have many causes including automobile accidents, work injuries, recreational accidents, and sporting injuries.

Traumatic Brain Injuries can be classified as mild, moderate, and severe. A mild TBI results in brief and temporary changes to the mental state, such as concussions, while a severe TBI results in extended periods of unconsciousness, memory loss, or altered brain function. Traumatic Brain Injuries of any level can be disabling.

Complications from Traumatic Brain Injuries include alterations to emotions, senses, language, thinking, or movement; an increased risk for other brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and epilepsy; even such serious problems as coma, paralysis, and stroke.
