How a Traumatic Brain Injury Could Affect Your Wellbeing
According to Mayo Clinic, any impact or strike to the head could lead to a traumatic brain injury (TBI). From concussions to piercing damage, a TBI could lead a victim to suffer such conditions as:
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Drowsiness
- Speech impairments
- Loss of balance
- Sensory issues and sensitivity
In severe cases, victims lose consciousness, experience seizures, have problems with orientation and memory, and may even present mood changes. In extreme cases, victims die from their TBI. It was reported that there were more than 69,000 deaths related to TBI in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Medical Costs Our Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers Recover for Riverside Clients

- Ambulance and emergency room
- Hospital and rehab admissions
- Physical and occupational therapy

Our TBI attorneys will help you recover these costs from the person or entity whose negligence led to your accident and current condition.
