What Is a Brain Injury ?
A brain injury is any harm that happens to the brain due to a hit to the head. A blow to the head can lead to broken skulls, bleeding inside the brain, tearing of brain tissue, and many other problems.
Brain injuries can vary a lot. They can be mild, like concussions that only last for a few hours. They can also be severe, leading to major brain damage. This might cause lasting disability and problems with thinking and memory.
The most frequent reasons for head injuries and brain trauma are:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Car accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Motorcycle accidents
- Accidents involving people walking
If you or a family member gets a serious brain injury from an accident or from someone’s wrongdoing, you may deserve a good amount of money. You can claim for things like pain, suffering, lost pay, medical bills, care costs, and future health needs, among other things. It is important to work with a skilled injury lawyer who knows the claim process and is familiar with the laws involved. They can help you through the brain injury claim process, keep your rights safe, and assist you in getting what you deserve.

What Are the Symptoms of a Brain Injury?
The symptoms that come with a brain injury can be different based on the type and seriousness of the damage done. They can include mild signs like a mild headache and dizziness. They can also include severe signs like seizures, slurred speech, loss of movement, and more.
In some situations, after an accident, the first mild injury signs may show up and then go away after a while. This can lead some victims to think they are fine, but more serious symptoms can appear later. In other cases, a brain injury may have few or no signs, which makes it hard to know what is wrong. This is why it’s very important to get medical help right away after a hit to the head to get a proper checkup and care.
Here’s a list of traumatic brain injury symptoms.
Mild brain injury symptoms:
- Headaches
- Trouble focusing
- A feeling of sickness
- Sensitivity to light
- Sleepiness
- Sensitivity to noise
- Ringing in the ears
- Losing balance
Severe brain injury symptoms:
- Memory loss
- Problems thinking clearly
- Trouble sleeping
- Speaking issues
- Unconsciousness
- Seizures
- Weak movement skills
- Mental health symptoms (e.g., worry and restlessness)

What are the different types of brain injuries?
Brain injuries range from mild to severe based on the damage to the brain, effect on other parts of the body, and any long-term effects. The main types of brain injuries that one can sustain from an accident include:
- Concussion – this is a diffuse injury that causes momentary loss of consciousness. It does not usually lead to permanent brain injury unless one sustains a very severe blow or repeated concussions.
- Contusion – this is a bruise to a specific area of the brain, i.e., a focal brain injury caused by trauma to the head.
- Skull fractures – these are injuries to the skull that may lead to brain damage. One example is the depressed skull fracture that may cause the skull to press against the brain leading to an injury.
- Intracranial Hematoma – a hematoma is a clot or build-up of blood outside the blood vessels. It occurs when a blood vessel ruptures in or around the brain. Such an injury can cause a build-up of pressure inside the brain, leading to loss of consciousness.
- Ischemia – this is a diffuse injury caused by the lack of enough blood to certain parts of the brain after a traumatic accident.
- Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) – This is an injury that causes damage to the brain (axons) on a cellular level, disrupting the transmission of signals. During an accident, the brain may shift and rotate inside the skull, causing nerve cells to stretch and shear. A diffuse axonal injury is one of the most severe injuries to the brain as it can cause permanent damage.
What is the most common brain injury?
Brain injuries can be mild or severe. This depends on how much damage is done to the brain, how it affects the rest of the body, and any long-term impacts. The main types of brain injuries you can get from an accident include:
- Concussion – this is an injury that can cause a short loss of consciousness. It usually does not lead to lasting brain damage, unless the blow is very strong or there are several concussions.
- Contusion – this is a bruise to a part of the brain caused by head trauma.
- Skull fractures – these are injuries to the skull that can lead to harm to the brain. A depressed skull fracture can push on the brain and cause injury.
- Intracranial Hematoma – this happens when a blood vessel breaks near or in the brain, leading to a clot or build-up of blood. This can create pressure inside the brain and may cause a loss of consciousness.
- Ischemia – this is an injury that occurs when there is not enough blood flowing to certain areas of the brain after an accident.
- Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) – this injury harms the brain on a cellular level and disrupts signal transmission. When an accident happens, the brain can shift inside the skull, stretching and tearing nerve cells. A diffuse axonal injury is among the worst brain injuries as it can cause lasting damage.
What is the average payout for a brain injury?
The amount you get for a brain injury claim is based on how serious the injury is. It also depends on how it affects your life, the treatment you need, insurance limits, and other things. Some payments you might get include:
- Current and future medical costs
- Costs for help or care
- Loss of income or ability to earn
- Pain and distress
- Loss of enjoyment in life

Who is at the highest risk for traumatic brain injuries?

What disabilities can result from a brain injury?
A brain injury can cause short-term or lasting disabilities. These include issues with thinking, movement, feelings, and behavior.
How can a personal injury lawyer help me pursue a brain injury claim?
A personal injury lawyer is very important for any brain injury claim. An experienced lawyer can help figure out how strong your case is. They can also calculate damages and long-term care needs. They will negotiate a settlement and represent you in court. This way, you can ensure you get a fair amount. A personal injury lawyer will support your legal rights and work hard to get you the compensation you deserve.
