The Long-Term Effects of a Brain Injury

Brain injuries are often categorized as “catastrophic” injuries because of the potential long-term and life-altering effects this type of injury can have. While some victims of mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) make a full recovery over time, a moderate or severe brain injury can result in impairments that last for years or that maybe permanent. Suffering sudden disabilities from a brain injury can change the course of your life and cause you to incur serious losses. You should discuss your rights with a brain injury lawyer in Longwood as soon as possible.

Causes and Effects of a Serious Brain Injury

Brain injuries can happen in many ways, including the following:

  • Falls
  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Getting hit by an object
  • Assaults

Many brain injuries happen because another party acted negligently, and that party should be responsible for all of your injury-related losses. These losses can be extensive due to the many lasting effects of a brain injury.

Each brain injury patient will experience a different set of symptoms and effects, depending on which part of the brain was damaged. Some common effects include:

  • Difficulty with written and verbal communication
  • Slurred speech
  • Trouble following directions or processing information
  • Slowed reading and comprehension
  • Inability to show appropriate emotion
  • Lack of emotional or behavioral control
  • Reduced balance and coordination

Any cognitive, behavioral, or physical impairments can make it difficult to return to work or school, and many victims must change their life path. These injuries also result in overwhelming medical bills, as many victims need ongoing care and rehabilitation for years.
