As human beings, we are able to think, to reason, to ponder, and to learn. We can feel emotions both wonderful and sad; we can hope and dream; we can aspire and rejoice; we can teach and assist our families and friends. We can laugh. We can love. The human brain is what makes all these fundamental aspects of life possible. In short, the brain is where our very selves reside.

It is thus difficult to conceive of an event in one’s life that can be more profoundly devastating than a traumatic injury to the brain. Even a mild brain injury can alter one’s life forever.

What Causes Brain and Spine Injuries?

A TBI, or traumatic brain injury, is a type of acquired brain injury that occurs when the brain is physically damaged. This is usually the result of a person’s head violently colliding with an object or an object piercing the skull and harming the brain tissue. Common causes of TBIs include falls, assaults, and automobile and truck accidents.

An SCI, or spinal cord injury, is a type of acquired injury that occurs when either the spinal cord itself or the bones and tissues surrounding it are physically damaged. This can cause dysfunction in the nerves responsible for transmitting between a person’s brain and the rest of their body.

Some brain and spinal cord injuries, such as concussions, are temporary and heal naturally over time. This doesn’t make living with the limitations they impose during that time any easier, however. Furthermore, some brain and spinal cord injuries are permanent. In either case, it’s important to seek out a knowledgeable brain injury attorney in Los Angeles who can help you understand your options and make the first steps towards seeking compensation.

Effects of Brain and Spine Injuries

Common effects of brain and spinal cord injuries include (but are not limited to):

• Loss of consciousness
• Vomiting or nausea
• Dilated pupils
• Chronic headache
• Fluid draining from ears or nose
• Coma
• Communication issues
• Impaired motor function
• Loss of balance or coordination
• Changes in personality
• Depression or anxiety
• Sleep disorders
• Numbness or tingling
• Loss of bladder control
• Full or partial paralysis
• Death

A traumatic brain or spinal cord injury can interfere significantly with one’s ability to think as before, one’s ability to work, and even one’s ability to enjoy life. This can, in turn, lead to great personal frustration as well as severe financial stress in a brain injury victim’s life. 

Additionally, rehabilitation efforts can be lengthy and expensive. Necessary physical adjustments to the victim’s home can be very disruptive and very expensive. The loss of one’s ability to work can jeopardize all aspects of the victim’s financial future, as well as that of the family.
