Most Common Causes of Brain Injuries

August 28, 2017 by Adam Page

The Endless Impact of Traumatic Brain Injuries

An estimated 1.4 million Americans every year is diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). TBI occurs when a sudden blow to the head results in brain dysfunction. The symptoms of TBI are numerous and varied in severity, with some traits passing quickly and others appearing throughout a lifetime.

Common symptoms include:

  • Impaired speech
  • Impaired Vision
  • Nausea and Dizziness
  • Mood Swings
  • Anxiety
  • Behavioral Disorders
  • Confusion
  • Memory Lapses

It is important to include an Orlando personal injury attorney in any incident involving severe TBI. TBI can lead to severe depression, emotional instability, and other long term symptoms that are difficult to clearly diagnose. These symptoms can make it all but impossible to return to a life of normalcy even for years following the injury. Sadly, the difficulty in recognizing, documenting, and treating these symptoms leads to many victims of accidents and negligence suffering doubly without proper care.

Falls

An experienced personal injury attorney in Orlando will be knowledgeable about the subject of TBIs because slip and fall related accidents account for nearly half of all Traumatic Brain injuries. Sadly, falls are often a result of negligent behavior from property owners, businesses, and management that fail to take reasonable precautions in everyday situations. Slippery floors that go unkempt, stairs that are unclearly marked or even walkways that are crooked or blocked with obstacles become dangerously prone to the type of preventable “accidents” that produce brain injuries.    

Car Accidents

Car accidents are responsible for a third of TBI related deaths. Even a low-speed traffic accident can result in a devastating TBI, especially for small children, pedestrians, and cyclists. Most car accidents are often well documented, but you may require the assistance of an Orlando personal injury lawyer to clearly define the symptoms of your brain injury.

Brain injuries are not always immediately evident. Insurers will often want to settle quickly for injuries before the long term effects can be clearly understood and included in the payment. If you are ever involved in a car accident and suffer any of the symptoms that suggest a concussion, immediately consult with a doctor and an Orlando accident attorney to fully understand the potential impact to your health.    

Assault

If you are the victim of an assault, then it is never too soon to consult with a personal injury attorney in Orlando. Even if your attacker may claim that severe injuries were not the intention, any sort of assault on an innocent human being shows a complete lack of regard for a person’s safety. Even worse is when a severe brain injury is the result of such violence. Bruises and bumps will eventually heal, but the repercussions of head trauma can affect you for life.

Other Reasons to Contact an Orlando Accident Attorney

A major portion of TBIs is documented only as “other”, meaning the cause of the injury was unspecified. The most dangerous cause of TBIs involving children often involves being struck accidentally by a blunt object. Fireworks, falling debris, projectiles, and other risks can cause severely catastrophic injuries. Consult with a personal injury attorney in Orlando, if you or a loved one suffers any form of brain injury.
