Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury

Some of the leading causes of traumatic brain injury are car and motorcycle accidents, serious slip/fall accidents, medical malpractice, violence, and sports accidents. Ultimately, traumatic brain injury is caused by an external force acting upon the skull and brain, resulting in diminished or incapacitated brain function. When a TBI victim survives the injury, the side effects can range in severity but are generally permanent.

Side effects of TBI include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Paralysis
• Short- or long-term coma
• Cognitive impairment
• Memory loss
• Lost or diminished speech, hearing, writing, and reading skills
• Emotional trauma
• Behavioral changes and problems
• Seizures, fatigue, and spatial impairment

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injuries, like traumatic brain injury, are often caused by serious auto accidents and slip/fall accidents, and they typically result in paralysis extending from the point of impact. Spinal cord injuries also result in lifelong physical, emotional, and financial complications that can further damage the well-being of victims and their families. Spinal cord injury victims with partial or full paralysis require special wheelchairs and specifically designed vehicles and residences to accommodate their needs; they also require regular physical therapy and even full-time medical care from a nurse or assisted-living facility. Living with a spinal cord or traumatic brain injury is devastating enough, but the astronomical financial costs can push victims and families into serious economic crisis. The law firm of Steinberg, Goodman & Kalish want to make certain this does not happen to you or your dependents.
