Traumatic Brain Injuries
Nashville Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers
Unfortunately, thousands of individuals every year are victims of misfortune, resulting in traumatic brain injuries or injuries to the spine. At Bednarz & Bednarz, our Nashville traumatic brain injury lawyers represents individuals throughout middle Tennessee who have suffered traumatic brain injury and head injuries through a variety of accidents and injuries.
The term brain injury applies to an open or closed head injury resulting in impairment in one or more areas of the brain. This impairment affects brain functions such as cognitive skills, language, memory, attention, reasoning, abstract thinking, judgment, problem-solving, sensory, perceptual, motor abilities, and speech.
Causes
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may result from any sudden impact to the head and can have serious or even fatal consequences. Most brain injuries come about as the result of bruising, bleeding, twisting, or tearing of the brain tissue. Damage can occur immediately at the time of injury, or it may develop later, due to continued swelling or bleeding following an accident. Brain injuries can be the result of a variety of different accidents, including car accidents, motorcycle and ATV accidents, truck / tractor-trailer accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, aviation accidents, or Vioxx / Celebrex reactions.
If not properly diagnosed and treated quickly, traumatic brain injury can lead to permanent damage or sometimes death. Brain tissue does not regenerate, and once brain cells are damaged they are lost forever. This can lead to a number of problems for those that have suffered a traumatic brain injury. With proper care, traumatic brain injury is treatable and many adapt to their injury and live relatively normal lives.
