Brain injuries have the potential to be devastating, tragic, and life-altering. They are certainly among the worst injuries a person can suffer. Cognition, speech, and language are all put at risk when a person’s brain is injured, as well as sensory perception, everyday functioning, and psychological health. Oftentimes more than one of these is jeopardized during a brain injury.
You may be thinking in terms of severe, traumatic, or mild brain injuries, but even historically mild brain injuries such as concussions can have severe repercussions that last a lifetime.
A traumatic brain injury (also called a TBI) is usually the result of receiving a violent blow to the head. It happens either when the head collides with an object or an object pierces the skull, entering the brain tissue. In 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did a study about Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in the United States. The study found that:
In movies and tv shows, characters get hit over the head. Usually, they see an EMT, and the EMT tells them they may have or do have a concussion, and that is the last we hear of it. The reality is very different. Concussions can have consequences that last days, weeks, months, or a lifetime. Concussion sufferers may think their brain injuries are mild and therefore do not merit a lawsuit, but we believe in holding people accountable. If you or a loved one suffer from a concussion that was caused by the actions or negligence of another individual you may be eligible for compensation.
A concussion is also known as a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), but the side effects of concussions can be anything but mild to a person living with one. They occur when a bump, jolt, or blow to the head causes the brain to move quickly within the skull. This can, unfortunately, cause major alterations in the normal functioning of the brain. These symptoms are typically noticed directly after the injury, but some concussions may not be noticed until days or weeks after the injury.

Over two million people each year visit emergency rooms across the United States as a result of a brain injury. In New Hampshire, over 13,000 people and their families seek medical attention for a traumatic brain injury every year. These brain injuries, like most brain injuries, occur largely because of car accidents, sports injuries, strokes, and falls. Although there is much promising research being done to help brain injury victims, most people living with a brain injury require significant attention, medical care, and representation.
