Traumatic Brain & Closed Head Injury Lawyer | Call Lee Free

Traumatic brain injury, also called TBI, occurs when the brain is injured by a sudden force or trauma. The brain can be driven into the side of the skull by a sudden blow, or by the force of shaking or whiplash. When this occurs, the brain can suffer bruising and swelling, and in some cases the impact will be sufficient to tear blood vessels in the brain causing intracranial bleeding.


There are numerous diagnostic tests available to determine the severity of TBI. These tests include electroencephalogram (EEG), SPECT scan, PET scan, MRI and CAT scans. A new test, called magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), detects the intra-cellular relationship of brain metabolites. This test can help “objectify” a brain injury.


TBI can cause serious, life-threatening events and can result in permanent irreversible damage to the brain. It can lead to seizures, memory loss, impaired communication skills, emotional instability and many other disabilities. Symptoms may be as obvious as a coma or as subtle as a change in emotional behavior.

Traumatic brain injury can have a profound effect on the quality of life, including the inability to work, inability to interact appropriately with friends and family, loss of normal body skills and function, as well as other ailments and problems.

Q: Is direct impact the only thing that can cause a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A: No. Extreme acceleration can also cause traumatic brain injury. Helmets, seatbelts and other technology should be used to avoid this kind of injury.
