<\/a>Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI\u2019s)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a very serious and sometimes catastrophic injury<\/a>. Although it is usually obvious when a person has suffered injury to the head, it is common for victims to not know or feel like they have a brain injury because such symptoms can appear days or weeks later and the injured person may not even notice the symptoms because their brain is not functioning normally and it is not until their loved ones tell them what they see going on before the symptoms can get addressed. One such phenomenon is brashly known as the \u201cTalk-and-Die\u201d syndrome, which happens when a person seems normal after an accident involving head trauma, even speaking and carrying on with their daily routines, but then dies a few days later from internal bleeding in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Common signs of brain trauma include unconsciousness, vomiting, dizziness, slurred speech, extreme fatigue, migraines\/headaches, mental confusion, extreme mood changes, dilated pupils, bruising and difficulty walking. If you or a loved one ever experiences any type of concerning impact to the head or neck, it is important to seek immediate medical attention to ensure that the skull and brain were not damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your loved one loses their mental capacity to manage their own legal and personal affairs due to their traumatic brain injury, you may petition for guardianship. Upon being granted guardianship by the court, you may pursue a brain injury claim against the at-fault party who caused your loved one\u2019s catastrophic accident. If the brain injury is not that severe, the injured person may bring the claim themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here in Indiana, the law permits immediate family members to bring about a brain injury claim on behalf of their injured loved one. Immediate family members are considered to be lawful spouses, children, and dependents. If your loved one has passed away due to their traumatic brain injury, you may bring about a wrongful death claim<\/a> on their behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to file a brain injury claim in Indiana<\/a>, it is critical that you retain professional legal counsel from a seasoned personal injury law firm that concentrates on head and brain injury cases.
