Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries occur when the brain experiences a sudden blow, jolt, or penetration that disrupts normal function. These injuries range from mild concussions to severe trauma that results in long-lasting impairment. TBIs arise in many different settings, and the circumstances surrounding an injury often determine how it is evaluated and understood.

Motor vehicle collisions are a leading cause of TBIs. Even at relatively low speeds, the force of impact can cause the brain to move within the skull, leading to bruising or internal bleeding. Falls are another common cause, particularly in workplaces, public spaces, and residential areas where uneven surfaces or inadequate safety measures may be present. Medical events, including oxygen deprivation or surgical complications, may also result in brain injury. Regardless of the circumstances, a TBI can alter physical, cognitive, and emotional functioning in significant ways.

Long-Term Effects of a TBI

The long-term effects of a TBI depend on the severity of the injury, the location within the brain, and how quickly medical care is received. Some individuals recover fully, while others experience ongoing symptoms that affect daily activities. Cognitive changes are among the most frequently reported long-term effects. These may include difficulty concentrating, memory challenges, slower processing speed, and problems with decision-making.

Physical symptoms may continue long after the initial injury. Chronic headaches, dizziness, vision changes, seizures, and impaired coordination can limit independence and reduce overall quality of life. Emotional and behavioral changes are also common. Individuals may experience anxiety, irritability, depression, or mood swings that differ from their pre-injury personality. In more severe cases, a TBI can result in significant mobility challenges, communication impairments, or the need for long-term care and support.

These long-term effects often influence employment, family dynamics, and social interactions. Rehabilitation services such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, or neuropsychological treatment may help individuals adjust, but the need for ongoing care can be substantial. Since every TBI presents differently, understanding the full impact often requires time and a comprehensive medical evaluation.

What Evidence Do I Need to Hold Someone Liable for a TBI?

When someone seeks to hold another party responsible for a traumatic brain injury, evidence plays a central role in demonstrating how the injury occurred and who contributed to it. The type of evidence needed depends on the circumstances of the incident, but several categories are commonly involved.

Medical records are essential because they document the diagnosis, the severity of the injury, and the treatment received. These records establish a connection between the incident and the resulting harm. Photographs or video footage of the accident scene can help show how the injury occurred, while witness statements provide additional perspective on the events leading up to the injury. Police reports may also support a claim by providing details about safety conditions or the conduct of those involved.

In many TBI cases, professionals with specialized knowledge review the available information to explain how the injury likely happened and whether a party failed to act with reasonable care. This may include accident reconstruction analysis, review of safety procedures, or evaluation of medical findings. Together, these forms of evidence help build a clearer picture of what occurred and who may be responsible.
