What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury is any type of damage to brain tissue. Often, an external force causes it, such as a bump to the head. At other times, direct penetration into the skull can damage the tissues. The most common types of traumatic brain injuries include:
- Mild TBIs: This type of injury causes a concussion. The injury is mild and there is no lasting impact.
- Moderate TBIs: These injuries cause a person to lose consciousness for a period of time. There is a higher risk of injury to the brain that does not improve. Most people recover.
- Severe TBIs: The injuries here may lead to a person being unconscious for a long period of time, including in a coma. Damage to the brain may be so significant that it impacts function, speech, and the ability to sustain life.
Brain injuries cause various lasting and permanent injuries. Some people recover fully and are able to get back to their lives without any limitations. Others need ongoing support as they try to work towards healing. In all situations, you have the right to seek compensation for the implications to your well-being if someone else caused those injuries to you.
