Traumatic brain injuries can be categorized as mild, moderate, or severe. In our practice, we frequently encounter mild traumatic brain injuries, also known as concussions. Around 90% of these cases resolve within a few weeks to a few months, but approximately 10% can become more troublesome, and some may even result in permanent damage. Detecting mild traumatic brain injuries can be challenging as MRIs and CT scans often lack the sensitivity to identify the level of damage, particularly at the axonal level of the brain.
However, there are alternative methods to document and establish the occurrence of a mild traumatic brain injury. While imaging tests may not always show the damage, other forms of evidence can help support the diagnosis, especially in cases related to auto accidents. If you or a loved one has experienced a brain injury, whether mild or severe, don’t hesitate to reach out to our personal injury lawyers for assistance.
