A TBI is a type of brain damage caused by sudden trauma, which occurs when an object strikes the head or pierces the skull and damages brain tissue. This type of injury can cause serious disorders that may require extensive treatment, and some types of injuries cannot be cured.

If you or a loved one has been injured or died because of an accident-related TBI, you may have the right to take legal action against the person or party responsible for your losses.

The most recent data available indicates that, in the United States, almost 2.9 million TBI’s occur yearly, and more than 55,000 of those injuries are fatal. This makes TBS’s one of the leading causes of accident-related death and disability.

Whether you were involved in a car accident, motorcycle accident, or fell while on someone else’s property, TBI’s can result in life-altering injuries such as fractured skulls, changes in mood, coma, and death. If your injuries were caused by someone else’s reckless actions, you may be eligible for financial compensation to cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and other damages.

Brain injuries are often catastrophic, and the parties responsible for causing them should not be able to go unpunished for the pain and suffering they have caused. The Minnesota TBI lawyers at Robert Wilson & Associates are dedicated to upholding the rights of brain injury victims. We have extensive experience and knowledge about TBI’s to work for a successful outcome for your case. Contact our offices today at (612) 334-3444 to speak with us about your case.

    Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

    Because brain injuries can vary in their severity, they can have a wide range of symptoms, all of which have the potential to be painful and disruptive. Symptoms of mild traumatic brain injury may include:

    • Loss of consciousness
    • Headache, lightheadedness, confusion, dizziness
    • Memory, concentration, and thinking problems
    • Changing mood, behavior, and sleep patterns
    • Blurred vision, ear ringing, and a bad taste in the mouth

    More severe symptoms may also include:

    • Increasing confusion, agitation, and restlessness
    • Continuous or worsening headaches, nausea, and vomiting
    • Seizures and convulsions
    • Dilated pupils
    • Inability to wake up from sleep
    • Slurred speech
    • Loss of coordination and numbness or weakness in the limbs

    Seek immediate medical treatment when you or loved one has had any kind of head impact in an accident. A head CT scan and an MRI can determine how extensive and how severe damage to the brain is.

    When you hit something with your head or something hits your head with any kind of force, the skull bears the brunt of the blow. However, the brain, which is cushioned in fluid and protective membranes inside the skull, sloshes around and makes contact with the hard bone of the skull during the impact.

    While the primary injuries to the brain include bruising and chemical and ion disruption, secondary and more severe injuries can also occur.

    Even minor symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can be extremely disruptive to your day-to-day life, diminishing your ability to perform routine tasks at home or at work. In more severe cases, your injuries can prevent you from returning to work, limiting or, with the worst TBI’s, eliminating your earning potential.

    Some TBIs are so catastrophic that they either result in the need for comprehensive 24/7 care or death. Receiving fair compensation from negligent parties who were responsible for the accident becomes a more urgent and immediate need.
