Why Should I Contact a Corpus Christi Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney?

An experienced Corpus Christi brain injury attorney will understand the specific details surrounding a TBI case. The damages in a TBI case can often be very difficult to calculate. For example, it is insufficient to review the records and the accident reports to determine the damages in a TBI case. Instead, the costs of future medical care and long-term care expenses must be taken into account. Otherwise, the true cost of sustaining the Traumatic Brain Injury will be dramatically under-calculated, leaving the victims to foot the bill for the negligent party’s substandard conduct. It takes the skill of an experienced Corpus Christi brain injury lawyer to prove these long-term damages with experts such as health care planners and economists. These cases require a special attention to detail, and an understanding of how a TBI can affect different parts of the brain in different ways.

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury (aka “TBI”)?

TBI is a specific type of damage to the brain. The results of a TBI can be devastating to the victim and those who care for the victim. The effects of TBI can prevent you from working, attending school, caring for your family, and/or leading a normal life. TBI can result in a concussion, a contusion, hematoma, or a diffuse axonal injury, just to name a few. TBI can happen, for example, when: (1) the head is violently shaken (usually from whiplash or shaken baby syndrome), (2) the head hits a stationary object (e.g., falling down or the head hitting a windshield inside a car, (3) is hit by an object (usually from flying debris, being struck, or construction accidents), and (4) the head is penetrated (e.g., by a nail, rod, bullet/gunshot, or otherwise). Brain injuries are generally most often caused by workplace accidents and car accidents/car crash, but they can be caused by multiple causes.

The severity of TBI can vary from “mild” (short-term confusion, feeling “hazy”, etc.) to “severe” (long period of unconsciousness, a coma, or perhaps a vegetative state). Victims of “mild” TBI sometimes do not initially know they have suffered from TBI because the brain damage my not show up on the standard tests conducted in an emergency room. However, victims can experience loss of memory, migraines/severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, an inability to concentrate, depression, suicidal thoughts, change in personality, or potentially even more devastating symptoms if the TBI goes undiagnosed.

Coping with a traumatic brain injury requires patience, and the financial means to address the injury appropriately over the course of treatment (which can last a lifetime).
