How Does a Traumatic Brain Injury Affect You?
A person may sustain trauma to their brain without realizing the full extent of their injury. There are numerous types of accidents that may cause a traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBIs can often go unnoticed, especially if there are more apparent physical injuries, such as broken bones or deep cuts. It’s important to consult with a physician after any type of head injury to make sure no serious complications go untreated and potentially worsen.
Mild to moderate TBIs can come from:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Slips/trips and falls
- Sports-related injuries
- Workplace incidents, such as objects falling from above
- Military service
It’s evident that any immediate bodily injuries will be treated soon after an accident. However, it is also important to look out for signs that you may have suffered brain damage, especially since some symptoms may not become apparent until some time has passed.
Some potential signs of traumatic brain injury include:
- Headaches
- Speech problems
- Balance issues or dizziness
- Fatigue/drowsiness
- Ringing in the ears
- Blurred vision
- Nausea or vomiting
- Problems with being able to smell
- A bad taste in the mouth
- Sensitivity to light/noise
- Mood swings
- Sleep issues
- Problems with memory or concentration
Moderate to severe TBIs can result in
- Aggressive behavior
- Slurred speech
- Convulsions/seizures
- Pupil dilation
- Clear fluids emitting from the nose or ears
- Loss of coordination
- Extreme confusion
- Weak or numb toes and fingers
If you notice any signs that you may have sustained a TBI, especially if symptoms persist or worsen, proceed to get examined by a physician.
Filing an Injury Claim After a TBI in Nevada
By filing an official legal claim of injury with the court, you are asserting that your traumatic brain damage was avoidable and ultimately the result of another person’s negligence. In short, you are claiming that the party is liable for the incident. For example, if you received the incorrect medication in the emergency room and had a reaction that prevented oxygen from reaching your brain, you can file an injury claim against the hospital for negligent malpractice and inflicting brain damage.
Taking any legal action can be a daunting process, especially for a personal injury, no matter who you’re filing the claim against. That’s why in Henderson, it’s very helpful to have a qualified and capable injury lawyer by your side throughout the process. They can help you with understanding all the complicated legal terms, procedures, and laws in your case. Additionally, they can assist you with collecting strong evidence and generally oversee the case while you focus on recovering.
Whether the party who was at least partially responsible for your traumatic accident was another driver on the road, a negligent property owner, a careless physician, etc., your injury attorney can argue on your behalf. By using supporting evidence, your legal representative can demonstrate how the accused party is liable and that your TBI is existent and substantial, thus impacting your daily life and brain function.
FAQs
Q: What Is the Average Settlement for a Traumatic Brain Injury Case?
A: There is no average settlement for a traumatic brain injury. Every person with a TBI will have a different experience, including their symptoms and how severe or long-lasting/persistent they are.
TBIs vary greatly due to the various types of brain damage, ranging from seemingly mild to moderate to severe. They are also often unpredictable in how they’ll progress. For these reasons, and depending on what caused the injury, some settlement payouts may be much more or much less than others.
Q: What Is the Life Expectancy of a Person With a TBI?
A: According to the CDC, 50 percent of individuals who suffer moderate to severe traumatic brain damage are likely to experience a decline in their condition and difficulty with daily life. These people will typically die within five years of sustaining their TBI.
Some of the impacts following the catastrophic brain injury can be reduced, or even prevented, with the proper, diligent treatment and management of these lifelong conditions. It’s believed that TBIs take nine years off a person’s life expectancy.
Q: Do TBI Patients Ever Fully Recover?
A: It’s difficult to say whether a TBI patient ever fully recovers. It’s possible for individuals to make strides in their rehabilitation, regaining some ability to self-support and returning closer to how they were before. It’s important to remain consistent in treatment since some symptoms may lessen over time. However, some can worsen, and new issues may even arise. Even if it seems like the effects of a TBI are gone, it’s advised to continue with ongoing care.
Q: Do TBIs Get Worse With Age?
A: Yes, it is thought that TBIs pose the risk of worsening with age. Every brain injury is different and will impact a person differently. It’s possible for some effects of a TBI to persist for years while others slowly dissipate after lingering for an extended period. It’s crucial to take proactive measures to treat TBIs, including those with less apparent symptoms, so there’s less chance of the damage worsening due to the person’s overall condition declining.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless.
