A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, can be devastating, and it doesn’t just go away. You might suffer from long-term effects of your head traumatic for the rest of your life. That makes it difficult to return to your job, your family, and to the simple tasks you used to do every day. If you have questions about the impact of a TBI, reach out to a Manhattan personal injury attorney for answers.
The brain is the control center of the body. It controls the flow of signals to the rest of the body. When that’s interrupted, it can cause difficulties controlling certain functions, similar to the way a spinal injury can take control away from you.
For example, if certain parts of the brain are damaged, walking, hand-eye coordination, and other mobility factors could be affected. For some people, that can make their job or even just a favorite hobby impossible.
In some cases, you might have a family member with a traumatic brain injury who may be in a coma or unresponsive state. In some cases, they may never regain functions that allow them to walk, talk, and understand you.
Even a mild brain injury can lead to some misfires in cognitive function. That means you might see changes in the way you focus, remember things, sleep, and even process information. These losses of cognitive function can be embarrassing, frustrating, and scary.
For example, you might have suffered aphasia, which is a side effect of head trauma that limits or stops your ability to communicate. You may be unable to speak and may need therapy to regain this ability. These mental impacts can leave you devastated and unable to communicate with loved ones.
Sadly, brain trauma can turn deadly over time, especially if you’ve suffered other concussions over time. Brain injuries cause damage over time, and that damage can leave you struggling to recover.
For example, these injuries can cause the brain to atrophy, or waste away, over time. That leaves you or a loved one with less capacity for cognitive functions and abilities. This might also lead to an inability to care for yourself and, over time, death. Talk to your lawyer about your brain health if you’ve suffered a TBI and need medical care for the damage done.
Losing your cognitive function can be devastating, and you might not be the only one suffering. Your family members may struggle with the financial, mental, and emotional strain of your losses, which can be severe. A TBI could even lead to death if not cared for properly.
