What Is a TBI?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden force or impact causes damage to the brain. This can happen from events like falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or violent assaults. TBIs vary widely in severity, from mild concussions to severe brain damage, and the effects can be temporary or long-lasting, depending on the extent of the injury.

In a TBI, the brain can experience bruising, bleeding, or tissue damage, which disrupts normal brain function. Even a seemingly mild impact can lead to serious symptoms or complications. TBIs are categorized into three levels—mild, moderate, and severe—based on the extent of the damage and the duration of symptoms. Mild TBIs, such as concussions, may cause temporary symptoms, while moderate and severe TBIs can result in long-term or permanent impairments that affect cognition, movement, and behavior.

At Kelner & Kelner, we understand the life-altering effects a TBI can have and are dedicated to helping those affected navigate their recovery.

Is Your Loved One Showing Symptoms Of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

We all know brain injuries are bad. We are familiar with the common symptoms: headaches, sensitivity to light, forgetfulness. But serious brain injuries — the kind that change lives forever and make people unable to function independently — have serious symptoms. Families need to be watchful after an injury or surgery and look out for these symptoms to prevent even more damage later:

• Intermittent or permanent blindness
• Severe memory loss and amnesia
• Loss of cognitive function
• Inability to coordinate muscles or a loss of motor skills

If your loved one is experiencing symptoms such as these, get medical help immediately. Our lawyers are prepared to help you going forward.
