What is a traumatic brain injury?
A traumatic brain injury is an injury sustained to the head by an external force, often the result of violent contact with an external object. An object piercing the skull and penetrating the tissue of the brain can also result in a traumatic brain injury.
What causes brain injury?
When your head is hit so hard as to actually move your brain within the skull, or the skull has been pierced, your brain may suffer damage. There are many types of accidents that can result in brain injuries, including:
- Car accidents and other vehicle accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Sports injuries
- Direct blows to the head with heavy objects
- Workplace injuries
Am I eligible for compensation if I have suffered a traumatic brain injury?
Whether or not you are eligible for compensation following a brain injury depends on your situation. If you have been hurt by someone else’s negligent actions, a personal injury lawyer can help determine if you are eligible and how to proceed with your case.
