Common Causes of Head and Brain Injuries
The TBI attorneys at Kevin A. Adamson, P.C., have extensive experience with helping head and brain injury victims in Norcross and surrounding communities. We understand how traumatic brain injuries commonly result from the negligence of others. Some of the most common causes of head and brain injuries are:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Falls from heights (commonly at construction sites)
- Slip and falls
- Assaults
- Medical malpractice
- Sports and recreation accidents.
When one of our brain injury lawyers takes on your head injury case, we will thoroughly investigate the cause of your brain injury. In addition to finding out how your brain injury occurred, we will also identify every party that should be held accountable for the injury and the economic and non-economic damages that you have suffered as a result of it.
Signs and Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury
According to the Mayo Clinic, traumatic brain injury (TBI) carries several signs and symptoms. While some of these signs may be immediately apparent, others may develop over time. Common symptoms include:
- Loss of consciousness for any amount of time
- Headaches
- Nausea or vomiting
- Vertigo, dizziness, and loss of balance
- Sensitivity to sounds or bright lights
- Blurred vision
- Tinnitus (or ringing in the ears)
- Changes in mood and sleeping habits
- Anxiety and depression
- Fatigue
- Difficulty with concentration or memory
- Slowed speech or impaired thinking.
If you were involved in any type of accident, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. A physician will know how to examine you, conduct tests such as MRIs or CT scans and diagnose your brain injury. The sooner you can begin treatment for your brain injury, the better off you will be in the long run.
Types of Head Injuries Our Norcross Brain Injury Lawyers Can Assist You With
When people think of a head injury, a concussion may be the first one that comes to mind. A concussion can occur when the brain hits the walls of the skull hard enough. A person with a concussion is highly susceptible to suffering a second concussion if the person suffers head trauma before the first concussion heals. Studies show that people who have suffered multiple concussions are also at risk of developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which is a degenerative brain disease.
In addition to concussions, people involved in accidents can suffer injuries such as:
- Skull fracture – A crack or break in the skull which can result in damage to brain tissue
- Hematoma – When blood pools or collects outside of the blood vessels
- Hemorrhage – Uncontrolled bleeding within the brain
- Edema – Swelling of tissues inside the brain
- Diffuse axonal injury – When damage to nerve fibers within the brain occurs, leading to serious cognitive and physical problems
- Coup-contrecoup – When damage occurs at the point of impact as well as on the opposite side of the brain
- Anoxic brain injury – A complete loss of oxygen to the brain
- Hypoxic brain injury – A partial loss of oxygen within the brain.

We may also consult with outside medical experts.
