Austin is a beautiful and vibrant city. From the time of its founding as the Capital of The Republic of Texas, public use of its natural resources and aesthetic quality of life have been a major concern. That concern has resulted in a sense of community that permeates the population and results in an effort to contribute shared by all. A walk through Zilker Park on any given day, will highlight a clean and lighthearted experience that adds to everyone’s quality of life. The mantra “Keep Austin Weird” is a testament to the difference individuals make in this community. However, for many individuals living their lives as they once did is no longer a possibility. Traumatic Brain injury has resulted in life changes that are often insurmountable. It is impossible to enjoy an afternoon hike at Lake Travis when a migraine headache stops you in your tracks. Likewise, the dream of becoming a graduate of the University of Texas can be ended by an inability to concentrate or a loss of cognitive ability. Additionally, the expense of long term health and mental health care can leave these individuals hopeless and at the end of their ropes. Fortunately, recent advances in understanding have linked the symptoms of TBI with the specific events that cause them and have allowed sufferers to recover from those that are responsible. If you or someone you love have suffered a TBI as the result of another’s carelessness consult with a Central Texas attorney today. A lawyer experienced in TBI can help you preserve your rights and get the compensation that you are entitled to.

Why Should I Contact an Austin Brain Injury Attorney?

An experienced TBI attorney will understand the specific details surrounding a TBI case. The damages in a TBI case can often be very difficult to calculate. For example, it is insufficient to review the records and the accident reports to determine the damages in a TBI case. Instead, the costs of future medical care and long-term care expenses must be taken into account. Otherwise, the true cost of sustaining the Traumatic Brain Injury will be dramatically under-calculated, leaving the victims to foot the bill for the negligent party’s substandard conduct. It takes the skill of an experienced TBI Lawyer/Law Firm to prove these long-term damages with experts such as health care planners and economists. These cases require a special attention to detail, and an understanding of how a TBI can affect different parts of the brain in different ways.

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury (aka “TBI”)?

TBI is a specific type of damage to the brain. The results of a TBI can be devastating to the victim and those who care for the victim. The effects of TBI can prevent you from working, attending school, caring for your family, and/or leading a normal life. TBI can result in a concussion, a contusion, hematoma, or a diffuse axonal injury, just to name a few. TBI can happen, for example, when: (1) the head is violently shaken (usually from whiplash or shaken baby syndrome), (2) the head hits a stationary object (e.g., falling down or the head hitting a windshield inside a car, (3) is hit by an object (usually from flying debris, being struck, or construction accidents), and (4) the head is penetrated (e.g., by a nail, rod, bullet/gunshot, or otherwise). Brain injuries are generally most often caused by workplace accidents and car accidents/car crash, but they can be caused by multiple causes.

The severity of TBI can vary from “mild” (short-term confusion, feeling “hazy”, etc.) to “severe” (long period of unconsciousness, a coma, or perhaps a vegetative state). Victims of “mild” TBI sometimes do not initially know they have suffered from TBI because the brain damage my not show up on the standard tests conducted in an emergency room. However, victims can experience loss of memory, migraines/severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, an inability to concentrate, depression, suicidal thoughts, change in personality, or potentially even more devastating symptoms if the TBI goes undiagnosed.

Causes of TBI

  • Slip and Fall Accidents
  • Car Accidents
  • Sports Injuries/Concussions
  • Being Hit by an Object
  • Explosions
  • Battery
  • Falling Down
  • Objects dropped on the Head

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Coping with a Brain Injury in Austin

A brain injury can change a care free lifestyle to one fraught with peril. Riding the bus becomes a whole different experience when you have lost the ability to remember what you started just moments before. Climbing in the Hill Country are a thing of the past when vertigo becomes a fact of daily life. Those that once provided for their families in our high tech sector, can no longer hope to hold a job when TBI takes their ability to relate to others in an empathetic and personal way. TBI is a complicated injury with a variety of symptoms that change individual’s lives in many ways. When these changes occur, an attorney experienced in TBI can help you recover for the damage they have caused. Although litigation cannot repair the damage to your life, it can put you on the path to living a rewarding life again, and it can be a first step in holding those that are responsible for your injury, accountable for the damage they have done. Consult with an experienced Austin brain injury lawyer today.
