What is a traumatic brain injury?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a bump, blow, or jolt to the head causes brain dysfunction. When most people think of traumatic brain injuries, they think of the most serious situations. You may have been involved in a car accident or suffered a serious fall where you struck your head.
What many fail to recognize is that traumatic brain injuries can be caused by more minor accidents. You do not have to hit your head to have a TBI. You do not need to lose consciousness. Traumatic brain injuries can be the result of a rotational force—or sudden stopping. An airbag deploying during a car accident can be enough to cause brain injury.

More importantly, we know how to work with your family, friends, and colleagues to illustrate how your traumatic brain injury has affected your ability to work, to enjoy life and to be an active and responsible member of your family.
Even if all you have are suspicions that you or a loved one may have suffered a TBI, you should discuss the situation with your physician or an attorney who focuses on helping people through these types of issues.
