BRAIN INJURY
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the term used to describe the damage to the brain suffered as a result of a sudden physical force. The human brain consists of billions of microscopic fibers, suspended in cerebrospinal fluid. While the exterior skull is smooth, the inner surface contains ribbing and pronounced bony structures. Impact with these inner surfaces of the skull causes tearing and bruising that results in brain damage. Traumatic Brain Injury can also be caused when the brain squishes or stretches too much as it moves around inside the skull. This squishing and stretching motion may damage the delicate connections between brain cells.
Some symptoms of TBI may include, concussion, seizure, headache, dizziness, inability to concentrate, change in personality, loss of memory, and even anxiety and depression. An attorney must have a thorough understanding of the symptoms of TBI in order to adequately present a case for damages to the jury. An experienced brain injury lawyer at Abbott & Associates can ensure that you find the right health care providers to reveal any undetected brain injuries that may have occurred as a result of the personal injury.
