The term "traumatic brain injury" literally refers to any brain injury caused by trauma. It can be either an obvious head wound or a "closed head injury," in which a sudden impact leaves no visible wound but may cause internal damage.

Either type of traumatic brain injury can cause serious brain damage. Because the brain, along with the spinal cord, controls every part of the body, symptoms of brain damage can involve any human function, from moving to speaking to even emotional well-being.

In personal injury litigation, it is often relatively easy to prove that an obvious head wound deserves compensation. Auto accidents are the most common cause, and people typically go immediately to hospitals for emergency treatment. In such cases, insurance companies cannot claim that the accident did not cause the injury and thus avoid giving compensation.

Closed-head injuries are often more difficult to connect to their cause. Sometimes people go months without realizing that their troubles can be traced to an accident. They may experience frequent headaches, mood swings, or serious deficiencies in their abilities, but try to continue with their lives.

It is important to get a lawyer who knows how to demonstrate the connection between an accident and an injury. At The Law Offices Of Bretzmann & Aldridge, L.L.P., we prepare each case thoroughly with the help of medical specialists, accident reconstructionists, and other experts.
