TYPICALLY, traumatic brain injury cases arise in personal-injury cases involving the negligence of a third person.
These types of cases arise from motor-vehicle accidents, vehicle-pedestrian accidents, injuries arising from a defective product, bicycle and motorcycle accidents.
The thought before was that if a person does not lose consciousness, they could not have suffered brain injury. The science and the expert medical community have established that is no longer the case.
A traumatic-brain injury diagnosis can be based on the following:
- loss of consciousness
- memory loss of the events before the accident and after the accident
- headaches
- head or skull wounds
- confusion and disorientation.
