The most common type of TBI is a concussion, which can occur anytime the brain collides with the skull. Although a concussion is considered a “mild” TBI, even a mild TBI can cause permanent lasting injury.
Children and older adults are especially at risk for a TBI.
Early diagnosis of a TBI is crucial because even mild TBIs can have life-changing consequences.
Some people who sustain a TBI recover, while others experience permanent changes in their ability to think, work, and interact with the world.
At Reiner, Slaughter & Frankel, we have more than 150 years of collective experience representing victims of catastrophic injuries like TBIs.
We know the cognitive and psychological changes a TBI can cause can be subtle, which is why we work with a team of medical experts and utilize cutting-edge brain imaging technology to help our clients get the specialized assessments they may not otherwise receive.
But our work does not stop at identifying traumatic brain injuries.
To better demonstrate how our clients have been affected by TBI, we work with neuropsychologists, rehabilitative care experts, vocational rehabilitation experts and experts in long-term health care planning.
We draw from our decades of experience to ensure our clients receive the full compensation they deserve.
One reason traumatic brain injuries frequently go undetected is because a TBI can occur without any external blow to the head. This kind of “no strike” brain injury is common in victims of car accidents because of the sudden changes in movement and direction.
If you have been in an accident of any kind, it is important to know the symptoms that can be indicators of a traumatic brain injury.
Many TBIs can result in long-term disabilities, significant medical costs, the inability to earn a living, or even, in the worst case, death.
