The Stewart Law Firm...Texas TBI Lawyers

Traumatic Brain Injuries can be extremely problematic for victims. Traumatic Brain Injury, or TBI, as it is often referred to by medical professionals, is defined as damage resulting to the brain from some external mechanical force. TBI can occur through impact, acceleration, deceleration, blast waves, or penetration by a projectile. Symptoms of TBI injuries can be mild, moderate, or severe. Disabilities resulting from a TBI depend on the severity of the injury, the location of the injury, and the age and general health of the victim. Common disabilities resulting from traumatic brain injury include problems with cognition (thinking, memory, reasoning); sensory processing (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell); communication (expression and understanding); and behavioral limitations (depression, anxiety, aggression, personality changes, and social inappropriateness).

Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. There are approximately 1.5 million people in the U.S. who suffer from a traumatic brain injury each year. 50,000 people die from traumatic brain injury each year in our country. 85,000 people suffer long-term disability due to a traumatic brain injury. Some of the more common means by which people suffer traumatic brain injury includes: motor vehicle crashes, truck crashes, motorcycle crashes, falls, work-related injuries, and sports injuries.
