If you sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to another person’s wrongful actions, you should not have to deal with the horrifying consequences that come from this injury on your own. Instead, you deserve compensation and justice for the harm and losses you sustained. Fortunately, with an experienced Birmingham traumatic brain injury lawyer, you will not have to fight for this financial recovery by yourself.

Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury to the brain that occurs because the head suffers a bump, blow, or penetrating trauma. As a result of this impact, the brain will crash back and forth within the skull resulting in bleeding, bruising, and the shearing of nerve fibers. This can lead to long-term complications or even death.

While a TBI will vary greatly in its severity and symptoms depending on the circumstances of the accident, in general, some of the more common types of traumatic brain injuries include:

  • Concussions
  • Brain hemorrhages
  • Coup-contrecoup brain injury
  • Contusions
  • Intracranial hematomas
  • Penetrating brain injury
  • Second impact syndrome

Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

While a traumatic brain injury can occur for a number of reasons, they frequently tend to result from:

  • Slip and falls
  • Falls from great heights
  • Motor vehicle accidents, including bus accidents, car crashes, and trucking collisions
  • Being struck by an object
  • Sporting injuries
  • Abuse
  • Blast injuries
  • Construction site accidents
  • Industrial accidents
  • Work accidents
