Victims of negligence, by third parties such as doctors and nurses, manufacturers, retailers, motor vehicle and machine operators, and corporations often suffer the devastating effects of a traumatic brain injury.

When a sudden impact or trauma occurs, the victims head can suddenly and violently strike an object. Also, objects can pierce the skull and damage brain tissues. A resulting traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be moderate or severe in medical terms; however the impact on one’s life in either case can be significant and chronic.

Brain injury can also be suffered due to air embolisms or lack of oxygen, for example in a medical environment such as a hospital or ambulance. This may be due to medical malpractice, i.e. negligence by a medical care provider.

Symptoms associated with brain injury include headaches, confusion, dizziness, blurred vision, fatigue, loss of memory and mood changes. In severe cases, victims can suffer a catastrophically debilitating injury, leaving them unable to speak or care for themselves.

Medical attention should be sought immediately, so that the patient can be stabilized to prevent further damage. The primary focus medically is to insure proper oxygen flow to the brain and entire body, and maintaining blood flow and proper blood pressure. In significant brain injury cases, rehabilitation often includes physical and occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and other psychological and social support systems.
