Understanding Brain Injuries: Types, Causes, and Symptoms

Brain injuries can have serious, life-altering effects. They are typically divided into two main categories:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): These occur due to external forces, such as blows to the head or body. Common causes include car accidents, falls, sports-related injuries, and violent crimes.
  • Acquired Brain Injuries: These are the result of medical conditions, such as strokes, aneurysms, or infections that disrupt normal brain function.

Brain injuries can impact cognitive and physical functions, often causing long-term or permanent changes in a person’s ability to think, move, and interact with the world. These injuries can affect memory, coordination, speech, and even emotional well-being, making daily tasks and relationships more challenging. In severe cases, ongoing medical care and rehabilitation may be necessary to adapt to a new way of life.

Common symptoms of a brain injury include:

  • Chronic headaches or migraines
  • Memory loss or difficulty concentrating
  • Mood changes, irritability, or anxiety
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Vision or hearing disturbances
  • Fatigue and sleep disturbances
  • Difficulty with balance or motor skills

It’s important to note that symptoms may not always be immediately apparent. Sometimes, they can develop or worsen in the days or weeks following the injury. If you experience any of these symptoms after an accident, it’s essential to seek medical attention right away.

What Are the Most Common Causes of a Brain Injury in Stamford?

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Whether you are a driver, passenger, or pedestrian, car crashes are one of the leading causes of brain injuries. The impact of a collision can cause whiplash, blunt force trauma, or direct head impacts that result in concussions or more severe TBIs.

Falls

Falls are the leading cause of brain injuries in older adults. Whether caused by hazardous conditions in the home or an accident at a store or business, falls can lead to serious head injuries, especially if the person hits their head on a hard surface.

Sports-Related Injuries

Stamford has a strong sports culture, and while activities like football, soccer, or hockey can be fun and competitive, they also pose a risk of head injuries. Concussions are particularly common in contact sports, and repeated blows to the head can lead to long-term cognitive and physical issues.

Violent Crimes

Brain injuries can also occur as a result of violent crimes, such as assaults, domestic violence, or even robberies. These injuries can result in severe trauma to the head or neck.

Workplace Accidents

Brain injuries can occur at the workplace, particularly in industries where workers are exposed to risks such as heavy machinery, falls, or electrical accidents.

If you’ve sustained a brain injury in any of these circumstances, our team can help you determine who is responsible and fight for your right to compensation.

Building a Strong Brain Injury Case in Stamford

Proving liability in a brain injury case can be complex. To secure compensation, we need to establish the following:

  • Duty of Care: The responsible party had a legal obligation to act safely (for example, a driver following traffic laws or a property owner maintaining safe conditions).
  • Breach of Duty: The responsible party failed to meet their duty of care, leading to negligence.
    Causation: The negligence directly caused your brain injury.
  • Damages: You suffered significant harm as a result of the injury, including physical, emotional, and financial losses.

Whether your injury was caused by a negligent driver, an unsafe property condition, or another factor, our legal team will conduct a thorough investigation to build a strong case. We understand that brain injury cases require detailed documentation, expert testimony, and compelling evidence, and we are prepared to do whatever it takes to secure the compensation you deserve.

What Compensation Can You Recover for a Brain Injury?

Brain injuries can result in both immediate and long-term expenses. At Goff Law Group, we fight for compensation for:

  • Medical expenses: This includes past and future medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care costs.
  • Lost wages: If you’re unable to work due to your injury, we will fight for compensation for lost income and any diminished earning capacity.
  • Pain and suffering: Brain injuries often cause physical pain and emotional distress, which can be compensated.
  • Loss of quality of life: If your injury has impacted your ability to enjoy life as you once did, you may be entitled to compensation for the loss of enjoyment.
  • Home modifications and long-term care: If your injury requires long-term care, home modifications, or other accommodations, we’ll work to secure compensation to cover those costs.

Insurance companies often attempt to minimize their payout, but we fight to ensure that you receive the full amount you are entitled to. Our brain injury lawyers in Stamford will work tirelessly to ensure that you’re compensated for both the immediate costs and the long-term challenges associated with your brain injury.
