Traumatic Brain Injury

News about traumatic brain injury, or TBI, in soldiers who spend time in Iraq and Afghanistan has been in the news more and more lately. While these are certainly serious cases, it’s important to know that TBI can happen to anywhere, at any time.

In fact, more than 1 million Americans here at home suffer from TBIs every year. Many suffer in silence due to the invisible nature of TBIs. From mild to moderate to severe, TBIs can be difficult to diagnose, especially when there’s no outward, visible sign of an injury. Yet TBIs can have long-term effects on a person’s life, including physical, emotional and cognitive issues.

What exactly is TBI?
A TBI is the result of an external blow to the head or a penetration of the skull, causing damage to the brain. TBIs can be caused by auto accidents, violence, on-the-job accidents, puncture wounds, medical malpractice and more.

Sometimes a TBI can cause a loss of consciousness. Sometimes symptoms develop several days or weeks after an accident. Recovery can be difficult. Victims may feel like there’s no one on their side.

If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury caused by someone else’s neglect or misconduct, you could have grounds for legal compensation. If you live in the West Palm Beach area of South Florida, find out more by contacting qualified attorney Craig Goldenfarb at 1-800-GOLD-LAW.
