According to the Tennessee Health Department, around 7,000 people suffer traumatic brain injuries (also known as TBIs) in Tennessee each year. Since the brain is protected by only a thin layer of bone and fluid, it doesn’t take much force to suffer an injury. In fact, the sudden deceleration associated with many car accidents is one of the most common causes of brain injury in the United States today.
The physical and mental effects of a brain injury can be serious and wide-ranging, and lead to permanent disabilities, causing patients and their families to drastically change their lives.
These are just some of the many reasons you should talk to a catastrophic injury lawyer before speaking with an insurance company or agreeing to a quick settlement after a TBI.

Accidents That Lead to Traumatic Brain Injuries
As we mentioned, car accidents can lead to TBI even when there is no direct contact with the head. However, a large percentage of TBIs do involve the head colliding with another object. Falls are among the top causes of this injury, as are accidents that result in a victim being struck by an object or propelled into one.
No matter the type of accident that leads to a brain injury, a victim may be able to bring a lawsuit against a negligent person or party that caused it. We have experience serving clients who have been injured by:

Life Before and After a Serious Brain Injury
The changes caused by brain injuries may be subtle and unexpected, or they may be pronounced and easy to diagnose. Concussions, the most common and mild type of TBI, may only result in a brief blackout that the victim doesn’t notice. However, the full effects of a traumatic brain injury can take time to reveal themselves. In many cases, close friends and family members may not notice subtle personality changes, memory loss, and other effects until weeks or months have passed.
Moderate and severe brain injuries are likely to cause lasting disabilities that can affect a range of skills, including:
- Vision
- Hearing
- Language comprehension and ability to communicate
- Concentration
- Logic and reason
- Memory and recall
- Physical ability
Though rehabilitation can often help brain injury patients regain some of their lost abilities, full recovery is very rare. Many patients will have to learn how to use assistive devices and/or receive daily care to ensure all their needs are met. Given the seriousness of these cases, it is essential to work with a TBI lawyer in Memphis to pursue maximum compensation.
