Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are known to be highly unpredictable in how they’ll progress, the symptoms that will occur, how the patient will respond to treatment, and more. Additionally, TBIs will vary in severity, from mild to moderate to catastrophic. Different areas of the brain can be damaged, and the manner of the damage itself will also vary. Multiple forms of TBIs can also occur simultaneously.
Concussions are the most common type of brain injury. They occur when the brain is jarred and collides with the inside of the skull. Symptoms can range in severity, with some injuries potentially causing lifelong difficulties or even developing into post-concussion syndrome. Another TBI is a contusion, which is a mild form of bleeding in the brain. Essentially, it causes a bruise, but it poses the risk of developing into a hematoma.
Hematomas occur when blood collects outside the blood vessels. They can either be epidural (between the brain and skull), subdural (under the layer of protective tissue that surrounds the brain), or intracerebral (entirely within the brain itself). A brain hemorrhage is a TBI in which there’s uncontrolled bleeding on or inside the brain. TBIs can also include penetrative wounds when foreign objects pierce through the skull and brain.
Diffuse axonal injuries are among the most serious of TBIs and occur when the brain is shaken or twisted inside the skull. This causes connective fibers in the brain (axons) to tear, disrupting its normal functions. Finally, recurrent TBIs, also called second impact syndrome, are when a second brain injury occurs shortly after an initial TBI, causing even more severe damage.
What Damages Can I Recover After a TBI?
In Nevada, after filing and winning a traumatic brain injury claim, your settlement payout will be the sum of your economic damages, non-economic losses, and, potentially, punitive damages.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages are awarded to injured individuals only in cases where the offending party is found to have displayed particularly egregious negligence or malicious intent within their misconduct. These damages are meant to punish and deter the defendant from engaging in future misconduct.
Economic Damages
Economic losses are easily added up from the TBI survivor’s bills, including
- Past medical expenses
- Future and ongoing costs related to treating the symptoms of the brain injury
- The victim’s loss of income due to missing work
- A diminished ability to earn income
- The inability to return to work altogether
- Any damages to personal property
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are more subjective, and it is difficult to show their true and full extent to the court. The court decides what to award in non-economic damages after hearing the evidence provided by the plaintiff’s legal counsel and considering all the relevant facts of the case.
In addition to the individual’s pain and suffering, non-economic damages also encompass:
- Psychological trauma
- Impacts on daily life, like difficulty completing simple or hygienic tasks without assistance (e.g., cooking, bathing)
- Strains on personal relationships
- Inability to care for children
Inability to enjoy previous hobbies or life in general
FAQs
Q: How Much Is a Traumatic Brain Injury Worth in NV?
A: It’s nearly impossible to know how much an individual’s traumatic brain injury claim may receive in compensation without considering the details of the case. Consulting with an experienced injury attorney is the most accurate way to get an approximate estimate of what your case could be awarded, given the circumstances. Settlement payouts tend to be higher for more severe TBIs and when the liable party is especially negligent.
Q: How Do You Adjust to Life After a Brain Injury?
A: If you or a loved one is recovering from traumatic brain damage in Sunrise Manor, and beginning to adjust to life post-injury, it’s important to know that the process will take time and won’t always be easy. However, it’s crucial that proper treatment is received consistently to see progression. It’s advised that the TBI patient enters into a rehabilitation program. This includes various forms of therapy that can aid in adjusting and recovering from the symptoms and changes caused by the TBI.
Q: What Does TBI Survivor Mean?
A: TBI survivor simply refers to a person who survived their injuries after sustaining significant damage to the skull and brain, as opposed to someone who died as a result of their injuries. TBI survivors often have difficulties adjusting to life after their accident, including learning or re-learning how to function and take care of themselves.
These survivors are considered to be more at risk of declining health, so it’s important for them to have a rehabilitation program and receive ongoing treatment.
Q: Does a TBI Affect Your Overall Intelligence?
A: A TBI can appear to have temporary effects on overall intelligence, particularly right after the injury and during the early stages of recovery. While the person’s intelligence will seemingly return as their brain devotes less effort to repairing itself, there are some long-term impacts that a person’s cognitive abilities may endure, which can take more time to treat and reduce their severity.
Examples include having difficulty with their general ability to process information as well as issues with organization, attention, concentration, and short-term memory.
