Traumatic Brain Injury

Regardless of whether the injury is temporary or permanent, mild or severe, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can greatly wreak havoc on the lives of the injured person and his or her loved ones. Over the years, the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. in Chicago, Illinois has represented many traumatic brain injury (TBI) clients through personal injury claims and lawsuits, and we will fight for your rights to compensation and proper care.

A traumatic brain injury is the term used to describe what happens to the brain when it is damaged by sudden, physical force. The leading causes of traumatic brain injuries are car accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, and getting hit on the head by an object or person. TBIs can range from mild to severe. While some TBIs can be easy to both detect and prove that they were caused in by an accident, other TBIs can be harder to identify, with symptoms taking days, even weeks after the accident to show up.

TBI Symptoms and Statistics

In the U.S., there are at least 1.4 million people who sustain a traumatic brain injury each year. Signs and symptoms of a TBI can include chronic neck pain or headaches, confusion, dizziness, memory loss, difficulty focusing or concentrating, extreme grogginess or fatigue, loss of balance, nausea, blurred vision, ringing in the head, sleeping too much or too little, loss of at least one of the five senses, seizures, aphasia (problems understanding and expressing language), loss of motor control or movement, uncontrollable jerking or twitching, dysphasia (not being able to swallow or chew correctly).
