Greenwich Lawyers for Clients Suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries can vary dramatically in severity. Some individuals may experience a mild concussion and not even be aware that it happened. Other traumatic brain injuries can cause devastating physical, emotional, cognitive, and psychological impairment. Many people who have experienced severe traumatic brain injury need months or even years of intensive rehabilitation and continuing support.

There are almost countless ways in which a traumatic brain injury can occur. Typically, inborn brain injuries are caused by genetic conditions, fetal alcohol syndrome, and perinatal illness. Acquired traumatic brain injuries are most often caused by physical trauma to the brain. More specifically, acquired traumatic brain injuries may be the result of:

• Car accidents;
• Truck accidents;
• Bus, train, and plane accidents;
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents;
• Slips and falls;
• High-impact sports;
• Assault or other violence; or
• Work/construction site accidents.

These are only a few of the many circumstances which can lead to a traumatic brain injury. If you think you may have suffered a brain injury, it is crucial that you seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
