Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Robinson Yablon Cooper & Bonfante, LLP is experienced in handling a variety of traumatic brain injury cases, including those resulting from:

• Blunt-force trauma, where a solid object (like a board, beam, or floor) strikes the head;

• Piercing trauma, in which a foreign object actually pierces the skull and enters the cranial cavity; and/or

• “Whiplash,” in which forces cause the head to rapidly move back and forth (such as what occurs in a rear-end car collision or head-on car accident).

Moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries frequently result in a loss of consciousness and/or amnesia. In addition, any victim who suffers a TBI may experience:

• Dizziness;

• Headaches;

• Nausea and/or vomiting;

• Fatigue and sleepiness;

• Mood swings;

• Fogginess or difficulty in concentrating.

In most cases, we strongly advise that a victim who suffers a head injury to seek prompt medical attention. Generally, the sooner that a victim receives medical attention the better his or her prognosis and the fewer complications he or she may experience further along.
