Types Of Brain Injuries And Symptoms

Brain injuries fall under different categories, acquired brain injury and traumatic brain injury, also known as TBI. A concussion is typically described as a "mild" brain injury. Traumatic brain injury occurs when the skull is struck, the brain loses oxygen for a period or experiences a diminished state of consciousness. The brain may be left temporarily or permanently impaired.

While traumatic brain injuries are frequently caused by motor vehicle accidents, they can also happen during domestic violence, physical assaults, falls, swimming pool accidents, construction accidents, sports injuries and acts of medical malpractice. In some cases, children suffer traumatic brain injuries during accidents or as the result of shaken baby syndrome.

If you have sustained a traumatic brain injury due to a car accident, it is important to note that an injured person must establish another driver’s negligence. Your percentage of fault for the accident must be less than 51%. If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover any damages. 

If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury due to tripping or falling, you may receive compensation from the property owner of the property where the incident occurred. In the state of Massachusetts, property owners must maintain their property in a safe condition for visitors. If you have been injured on someone’s property, you must prove that the property owner owed you a duty while you were on the property. You will also need to prove that the property owner had constructive notice about the dangerous condition that caused your accident. Owners of properties owe visitors safety, and must repair hazards on their site. 

Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury may include a loss of consciousness, nausea, feeling lightheaded and dizzy, breathing problems, headaches and trouble moving arms and legs. Other symptoms include vomiting, ringing ears and loss of bladder control.

We went to Bellotti Law for help with a car injury to a pedestrian in a hospital parking garage. Peter is very low-key and calm, but know well how the system works and got us an excellent settlement through persistence, and helping us to track the effects of the injury and its future potential effects. He made a very strong case, and held out for a great settlement… I highly recommend him for his calm persistence, intelligence and experience in personal injury cases. Paul F.
