Traumatic Brain Injuries Come in Many Forms
Sudden, violent events can inflict traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). These injuries may range from mild and temporary to permanent and life-altering. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, some traumatic brain injuries are immediately apparent; others may develop over time.
The list of potential effects of a traumatic brain injury is long and diverse. The type and severity of your injury will dictate which of the following symptoms (if any) you may be at risk of:
- Headaches
- Mood problems
- Memory problems
- Motor problems
- Speech problems
- Seizures
- Coma
If you or a loved one have suffered a traumatic brain injury, seek medical attention immediately. It is vitally important that you get any existing damage treated and prevent any further damage from occurring.

Damages in a Personal Injury Case
The types of compensation that may be available in a personal injury case depend on the nature of your injuries. Some examples of commonly sought damages are included below:
Economic Damages
Economic damages provide relief for accident victims who suffered financial losses. These losses may include:
- Medical expenses: for the medical care you received immediately after the crash and/or the care you will need to manage the long-term effects of your injuries
- Lost wages: if you took a leave of absence from your job to let your injuries heal
- Property damages: if any of your property was damaged in the accident
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages provide relief for accident victims who sustained bodily injuries, including traumatic brain injuries. These damages may include:
- Pain and suffering: if you suffered physical pain from your injuries or psychological pain of having lived through a traumatic event
- Reduced quality of life: if your injuries have robbed you of the ability to engage in necessary or enjoyable activities
You may be unsure of which of these damages you may qualify for or how much money you should ask for them. Do not worry; lawsuits can be complicated, and answers to questions like those are not always obvious. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help you identify your damages when we work together on your case.
