A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is any injury that results in disruption of brain function or causes physical harm to the brain, such as torn tissues or bruising. About 52,000 people die each year as a result of TBI, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

TBIs most often stem from a trauma or blow to your head, but can also be caused by other injuries not involving direct head trauma.

TBIs can have life-altering consequences. The long-term effect of a TBI may include:

• Impaired capacity to reason and solve problems.
• Memory problems.
• Emotional changes, such as depression and anxiety.
• Full or partial paralysis.
• An inability to express yourself and communicate with others.

At Boller & Vaughan, our attorneys handle some of the most devastating TBI cases. Negligent behavior can lead to TBI in various situations, including car accidents, workplace injuries, and slips and falls.

Traumatic brain injuries may require surgery to repair skull fractures or relieve pressure. This type of surgery can be risky and leads to expensive medical bills. TBIs often necessitate long-term rehabilitative treatment to recover mental health or re-learn physical skills like walking.
