Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Cleveland

According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the common causes of brain injuries, concussions, and TBIs in Ohio include:

  • Car accidents
  • Falls
  • Assault and altercation
  • Sports, particularly cycling and football
  • Trampolines
  • Gunshot wounds
  • Suicide attempts
  • Birth injuries

While gunshot wounds and suicide attempts make up a small percentage of TBIs, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports a steady increase in these traumatic brain injuries.

Brain Injury Statistics

According to medical research, males are twice as likely than females to experience traumatic brain injuries. Out of all genders and age groups, Ohio males ages 16 to 24 are the most likely to sustain a traumatic brain injury. This risk also increases in men age 60 and older.

Signs of Brain Injuries

The Cleveland Clinic identified a series of brain trauma symptoms, including:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Vomiting or nausea
  • Slurred speech
  • Drowsiness
  • Pupil dilation
  • Confusion or memory loss

Seek Medical Care for Any TBI

Unless the trauma was significant, brain injuries – particularly mild concussions – can sometimes go undetected for quite some time. As a result, this creates a higher medical risk and the potential for serious and long-lasting impacts.

If you suspect you or someone you know has undergone even minor head trauma, it’s imperative to seek medical advice as soon as possible. In addition, if a person loses consciousness after a head impact, see a doctor immediately. The brain could be swelling and/or bleeding. Both have serious physical and mental consequences.

Long-Term Brain Injury Effects

Brain injuries can have a range of effects. These can be short to long-term, depending on the level of force you sustained in the incident.

Cleveland-area medical professionals who specialize in brain injuries and TBIs point to several brain injury issues:

  • Fine motor skills
  • Loss of vision
  • Paralysis
  • Memory loss
  • Muscle stiffness
  • Inability to perform basic tasks

In extreme cases, a traumatic brain injury can also lead to an untimely death.

It’s important to remember that circumstances will vary from case to case. For example, brain injuries from car accidents may look quite different than brain injuries from gunshots. In addition, the healing and legal process surrounding them might be quite different.

Some of the effects of brain injuries are irreversible. While others often require extensive medical care and ongoing treatment. This can include therapy, neurological rehab, and home modifications.

Almost no one is prepared to deal with these costs alone. KNR can help. Let us file your claim and document your losses to get the best care possible.

Who’s Liable for Your Cleveland Brain Injury?

Depending on the severity and other factors involved, you may be able to recover compensation for the economic and non-economic damages associated with your Cleveland TBI. This requires identifying the negligent party and establishing legal liability for the harm you endured. This is usually accomplished through an insurance claim or lawsuit.

To prove negligence, establish liability, and ultimately have a successful brain injury claim, you must show:

  • The other party had a duty of care toward you
  • This duty was breached by a failure to act reasonably
  • The breach of this duty caused your brain injury
  • You suffered harm that you can be compensated for

For instance, if you were diagnosed with a TBI after a car crash, you and your lawyer will usually file a claim against the appropriate liable car insurance e party and prove that the other driver had a duty to follow the traffic laws. They subsequently breached this duty by speeding, and the collision caused your brain injury. Finally, you’ll have to demonstrate that you suffered financial and other losses. This could be your medical bills, inability to work, or pain and suffering.
