Serving Atlanta, Georgia

Each year, nearly 100,000 people in the U.S. suffer serious brain injuries that require medical treatment and affect their ability to perform everyday activities. Serious brain injuries can result from falls, car accidents, sports activities, or work-related accidents. Any kind of trauma to the head or neck region can cause the brain to bruise, bleed, tear, or swell and may result in paralysis, loss of consciousness, and even death.

There are two general types of head injuries: open and closed. An open injury means the skull has been fractured. A closed head injury, although the skull is not fractured, can be more serious than an open injury due to the possibility of brain swelling and the formation of blood clots inside the skull.

According the National Institutes of Health, traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. TBI can result when the head suddenly and violently hits an object or when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue. Symptoms of TBI vary and are classified as mild, moderate or severe depending on the extent of the brain's damage.

If you or a loved one has suffered any kind of blow to the head, seek medical attention immediately if you notice any of the following:

• Lack of memory or confusion about the accident
• Unusual tiredness or sluggishness
• Nausea and dizziness
• Severe headache
• Weakness or numbness on one side of the body

Some brain injuries do not show symptoms immediately. If there's any concern about possible brain or skull damage, do not hesitate to seek medical help. An experienced traumatic brain injury attorney such as the ones at Robbins & Associates can help you get the compensation you deserve if your brain injury is the result of someone else's negligence or wrongdoing.
