Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be sustained after any type of accident in which an impact to the head occurs. These injuries can range from mild to completely or permanently disabling, depending on the nature of the impact and extent of damage to the brain. Any injury to the brain is serious due to the complexity and overriding function of this organ in human health. At Hofland & Tomsheck, our legal team understands the gravity of TBI, its potential life-changing consequences, and the impact such an injury may have on the patient and his or her family for months, years, or forever.

As seasoned personal injury lawyers, we understand the vital necessity of injury claims and lawsuits pursued on behalf of TBI victims who have been unjustly harmed. Whether sustained in a traffic accident, construction accident, in a sports or recreational accident, criminal attack, or any other scenario, we do everything possible to ensure that fair and just settlements or verdicts are obtained for our clients. Our firm is extremely experienced and skilled in handling complex civil litigation. In the case of brain injuries, we have the resources of neuropsychologists and other medical experts who can thoroughly diagnose and document even difficult-to-detect injuries and symptoms. These medical specialists can provide a complete and accurate diagnosis of the full extent and impact of TBI which can be used to substantiate your case at the negotiation table or in court.

TBI is acquired from a blow to the head or from something penetrating the skull and entering the brain. Depending on the severity of the injury, victims may suffer a wide range of symptoms and consequences, including but not limited to:

• Mild to severe concussions
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Confusion
• Blurred vision
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Sleep problems
• Cognitive and behavioral problems
• Personality changes
• Agitation
• Loss of coordination
• Memory loss
• Slurred speech

For the more severely injured, surgery may be required to remove or repair ruptures or bruised brain tissue. In the gravest injuries, the individual may remain in a persistent coma or be permanently disabled in a vegetative state.

A person suffering a TBI may require multiple types of treatment, from surgery to physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychological therapy to cope with adverse effects of such a devastating injury.
