What is a Traumatic Brain Injury

When a person has suffered a skull fracture, it's obvious that there has been serious injury to the head, but a closed head injury may be just as serious. When the brain hits the inside of the skull it can cause swelling, tearing, or bleeding into the brain, leading to recurring headaches, slurred speech, blurred vision, and loss of coordination. Long term changes can include poor memory, mood swings, and personality changes.

Because the injured person's thinking has been affected, he or she may not know the extent of the change. Family members are often better able to see the seriousness of the injury and can play a critical role in bringing the injured person to seek a proper medical diagnosis and get in touch with a lawyer to pursue financial compensation in court.

Auto accidents and motorcycle accidents are among the primary causes of traumatic brain injury and wrongful death. However, a brain injury can also occur from a serious fall, from being struck by a car as a pedestrian, or from an explosion of a defective product.
