Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Verdict in a mild traumatic brain injury case involving a motor vehicle collision.– Judd Ross Allen
A traumatic brain injury is defined as an injury that has been sustained as a result of a blow to the head. While every case is different and every set of symptoms will be different, the causes of traumatic brain injury are similar:
The symptoms of traumatic brain injury can range from mild to severe, most impacting the individual’s quality of life. Some of those life changes will be permanent for many.
Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury include:

Not every brain injury is traumatic. Another kind of brain injury is acquired. A biologically acquired brain injury may occur through infection, stroke, medical malpractice, or cerebral palsy. If you have acquired a brain injury through medical malpractice negligence, you are also entitled to compensation for your damages.
There are many other kinds of brain injuries that you may incur as a result of the negligence of others:
These are considered mild brain injuries because you can not die from a concussion or go into a coma from one. The blow that caused the concussion could cause that, though. Concussions happen when there is a blow to the head and the brain is pressed against the skull. It is a mild bruising of the brain.
Concussions are graded by seriousness, as noted by the length of time the victim is unconscious. There are multiple grading systems in the world when it comes to concussions, with some variables changing across the systems:
Despite that the milder grades of concussion do not experience lengthy symptoms or unconsciousness, they are still severe brain injuries. Multiple concussions in a lifetime will impair your quality of life. Even with a mild concussion in grade 1, most doctors will still recommend that you take at least one week off of work. That is because it is impossible to say how long symptoms will last with a brain injury.
A contusion is a medical term for a bruise, and this can occur on the brain. A bruise is damage to blood vessels that causes them to break and bleed. On the brain, it is very dangerous.
A contusion, like any other bruise, will be the result of a blow to the head. The result is swelling, and because blood is leaking, it could also lead to a clot in the brain. A contusion could result in blood pooling, which is different from blood leaking and becoming a bruise. When blood pools, this is called a hematoma, and in this case, it would be blood on the brain.
Brain surgery would be required to treat this. For anyone, brain surgery could be life-threatening all on its own. A coup-contrecoup injury is a type of contusion that occurs when the head sustains a series of contusions. A coup-contrecoup will happen when the head is hit, is thrown back, and the back of the head hits something else.
A diffuse axonal injury is an injury to the axons of the brain. The axons in the brain are the branched structures that stem out from the neurons in the brain. The round neuron structure is in the middle of the cell, and branching from that is a series of connections called axons. There are branches around the neuron as well, called dendritic branches.
The axons are the long lines that connect one neuron to another, whereas the dendritic branches are specific to each neuron. The dendrites of one neuron will not touch the dendrites of another, whereas the axons will because that is what they do. A blow to the head is going to have the brain moving around a lot inside the skull.
A diffuse axonal injury or damage to the structures that connect neurons is almost expected. Diffuse axonal injuries involve tearing and stretching of the axons. The unfortunate thing about neurons is that they, and their surrounding tissues, can not regenerate or repair themselves. Neurons are very delicate things that can't be replaced.
After this kind of injury, the result is diffuse axonal injury, which is very serious and sometimes deadly. Even minor axon damage could mean brain damage that becomes widespread. The job of neurons is to communicate, and the job of axons is to transmit those messages. If that stops in one section of the brain, the potential for problems everywhere is significant.
Every single one of these kinds of brain injuries follows this pattern. When there is a danger to one area of the brain, the rest of the brain has to find a way to make up for that. That is the brain’s natural response. Having a list of symptoms that goes with that is expected since it is going to impact your quality of life.
When you are dealing with a brain injury, regardless of its type or cause, you have a lot going on with which you need to deal. If someone did this to you, the law says that you deserve to be compensated because your life isn’t the same anymore. The emotional weight of this crisis alone can be debilitating. You don’t have to go through this alone.

Treatment for brain injuries caused by a blow to the head happens every day in America. One study found that over five years, 10.7 million Americans went to the emergency department for head trauma. That is an average of 2 million Americans annually, or almost six thousand people getting treated for brain injury every day.
Every kind of brain injury is complex, as will its treatment be. Even with brain injuries that are clearly defined and diagnosed, doctors may still find it challenging to target some of the specific symptoms of a brain injury. With the brain, sometimes, an emotional symptom could be the result of a physical problem. It can be impossible to determine what is causing depression if it is not a conventional depression.
Doctors will almost always be in diagnosing mode when looking at brain injuries because they want to see what has changed and what is going on. There are several ways they start to look at the problem. The first thing doctors might do is take the Glasgow Coma Scale, a 15-point assessment tool that determines what is going on with the brain trauma.
The higher a victim’s score, the greater their injury. How the injury occurred, any changes in the victim’s behavior, level of consciousness, the force of injury, and other body parts involved will be part of this rating. The rating is an easy way for doctors and emergency personnel to standardize the immediate impacts of brain trauma.
From there, victims will undergo a series of imaging scans, motor skills functions tests, and neurology exams. They may be asked to read eye charts, walk specific ways, have reflex exams, and check their nerve responses with pins or toothpicks. The treatment for brain injury will always be complex and prolonged.
It will go the length of the symptoms for the patient. The victim may need physical rehabilitation, medication for pain and anxiety, and may even require some counseling. In many cases, brain trauma isn’t the only injury the victim is dealing with. This entire process is part of the long-term impacts of brain trauma or brain injury.
In many cases, initial symptoms of brain trauma are going to be symptoms that last. For concussions, the symptoms dissipate with time. For others, such as axonal injury, the symptoms will never go away because the problem can’t ever go away. Treatment can also involve at-home care or daily therapy.
Patients may have to learn to walk or speak again. Even learning how to remember something again could be on the list of things to do. For the victims and their families, this is a long course of pain and suffering.

The Head Trauma Support Project of Sacramento has been providing support for decades to those suffering from brain trauma. Victims and patients of traumatic brain injury need support for many areas of their lives. In some cases, emotional support is lacking the most.
When you are suffering from a brain injury and a sudden change to your quality of life, being supported emotionally is a life necessity. It’s not always there, even if there is love around you. A lot of people with brain injury aren’t easily understood by the people that love them.
They don’t always know exactly what is going on, why you aren’t feeling well, or how to help you. The Head Trauma Support Project of Sacramento helps families and patients with brain trauma by providing access to free resources where healing can work its magic.
This support project is available to caregivers, patients, friends, and family members to promote awareness and understanding about living with a brain injury. The goal is to enhance the quality of life. Contact or visit the Head Trauma Support Project of Sacramento today to begin accessing this support and free resources that will help you and your family get better together.

December 2016: $22M+ verdict in a mild traumatic brain injury case. The entire details of the case can be found in the public record filings by the defendant entity that sued its defense.– Brian Beecher
When you have experienced a brain injury due to someone else’s negligence, the law allows you to file a claim against them or sue them for the losses and damages you incur as a result of your accident or trauma. Having a brain injury could change your entire life. You may never work again. If you do, it may not be for a long time.
In the meantime, you have to undergo a lot of treatment to help you get back on your feet again and live your life the way you did before the accident if you can. If you can’t return to the quality of living you had before the trauma, you are entitled to compensation for that loss.
Restoring the quality of life is just one thing for which you can be compensated. You can also be compensated for:
When you work with Sacramento brain injury attorneys to sue for damages, the court will be looking for gross negligence, intentional negligence, or if the trauma could have been prevented. In California, gross negligence is determined by the amount of lack of care or an “extreme departure from what a reasonably careful person would do in the same situation to prevent harm to oneself or others.”
Acting or failing to act can lead to gross negligence claims. Living life with a brain injury is expensive. Lifetime expenses with a brain injury are estimated by experts to run from $85,000 to $3 million, and more in many cases. This number would be discussed in court with you and the defendant in the case, as the court will want to know how much this problem will cost you today and tomorrow.
In California, you may see comparative negligence laws come into play with your brain injury. Comparative negligence refers to determining how much at fault you might be for the accident. A court would determine this. For example, if you walked somewhere intentionally when you could have and should have reasonably walked somewhere else, and that walk led to a fall, a judge or jury might find you partially responsible.
You may have some fault in a car accident as well. Comparative negligence will determine the percentage that you are at fault and deduct that percentage from your final settlement. For most personal injury lawsuits, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the incident to file a claim or lawsuit.
If you file a claim against a government agency, you only have six months to file your claim. As soon as you have a claim against anybody regarding a brain injury, contact a personal injury attorney or Sacramento brain injury attorney to help recover your damages.
