- Brain Injury
When a person obtains a brain injury, there are many ways he or she may be affected. From physical damage to a person’s skull and protective tissues to significant changes to cognitive and emotional capacity, a brain injury can be both traumatic and catastrophic in nature. If your injury was a result of another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX catastrophic personal injury attorneys take a look at the lifelong impacts that can emerge from a brain injury and discuss how our team may be able to help prove a responsible party liable.
Cognitive and Emotional Disruptions
Unlike a broken bone or other injury that will fully heal over time, a brain injury or traumatic brain injury (TBI) can affect a person long-term. Moreover, the specific way a person may be impacted will depend on the severity of the injury, the location of the injury, and more. For example, damage to the brain tissue can cause cognitive disruptions, including memory problems, difficulty with planning, problem-solving, or decision making, and trouble focusing and concentrating. For some, areas may improve over time, but for most, these become lifelong consequences of suffering a severe head injury.
Another long-term effect of a TBI can include emotional or behavioral disruptions. Mood swings, irritability and anger, personality changes, and social isolation can all arise as a result of a major brain injury. Anxiety, depression, and PTSD may also affect a person with a head injury. For more information about cognitive and emotional disruptions, give our team a call.
Physical Complications
Depending on the area of the brain that obtains the damage, a person can suffer from motor and sensory deficits. In some instances, a TBI can lead to paralysis, weakness, or difficulty with coordination and balance. Other physical complications might include mobility problems, such as difficulty walking, standing, and performing daily tasks, sleep disturbances, hormonal imbalance, headaches, fatigue, and more.
Proving Liability
When a person endures a brain injury as a result of another person or party’s negligence, carelessness, or deliberate intent, there may be grounds to file a personal injury claim. Each person’s injury, situation, and facts surrounding their accident are largely unique, and as such, warrant skilled and experienced guidance to pursue the compensation you deserve. During your free consultation, our team takes care to listen to the facts of your case to offer the pros and cons, what laws may apply, and what it would look like to move forward in the legal process.
