Understanding the Complexities of Traumatic Brain Injury Claims

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a life-changing event that affects millions of individuals in the United States each year. TBI can result from a wide range of events, including falls, car accidents, sports-related injuries, and bike accidents. TBI’s can have significant and long-lasting impacts on an individual's cognitive, physical, and emotional health. If you or a loved one has suffered a TBI, it is essential to understand the different types of catastrophic brain injuries and how the experienced attorneys at Flanzig & Flanzig in New York can help.

Types of Catastrophic Brain Injuries

There are several types of TBI, ranging from mild to severe. The severity of the injury depends on the force and duration of the impact. Some of the most common types of catastrophic brain injuries include:

Concussions

A concussion is a mild TBI that occurs when the head is jolted, causing the brain to shake within the skull. Concussions can cause temporary loss of consciousness, confusion, and memory loss.

Diffuse Axonal Injuries

Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) is a severe TBI that occurs when the brain moves back and forth rapidly within the skull, causing damage to the axons, the long fibers that transmit messages between brain cells. DAI can cause long-term cognitive impairment and even coma.

Contusions

A contusion is a bruise on the brain that occurs when the head is struck by an object or hits an object forcefully. Contusions can cause swelling, bleeding, and loss of consciousness.

Penetration Injuries

A penetration injury occurs when an object penetrates the skull and damages the brain. These injuries can cause severe brain damage, including cognitive impairment, paralysis, and even death.
