The Cochran Firm Legal Blog

A traumatic brain injury has a profound effect on the victim and their family as well for a long time to come, sometimes forever. In the event the traumatic brain injury was caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, it is important to pursue financial compensation that will cover medical and personal care costs well into the future, possibly for a lifetime.

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is categorized as a catastrophic injury due to the complex nature of the brain and the often devastating effects of such an injury, at times leading to death. A TBI can occur as the result of a car accident, a sports-related injury, a job-related accident, a simple fall or a criminal assault. Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury may include loss of cognitive or motor skills, memory loss, persistent headaches, vision and hearing loss, dizziness, loss of consciousness, emotional instability and personality and behavioral changes. Sufferers of a TBI often are left with permanent disabilities and require extensive medical and personal care for life.
