When a person has suffered a head injury in an accident, family members are often relieved when there is no apparent brain damage. In many cases, however, a brain injury may develop well after the accident, or symptoms may not be noticed at first.

If a loved one has suffered a head trauma in an accident, make sure they are examined by a qualified physician and contact the experienced Nevada TBI Attorney. After a traumatic brain injury (TBI), it is critical to seek medical care early so that doctors can treat the injury and monitor the victim over time. Our Nevada TBI Attorney firm represents clients throughout Nevada. Contact Nevada TBI Attorney to discuss how we can help. The initial consultation is free.

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

The terms referring to brain damage resulting from an accident can be misleading. Any head injury is "traumatic" to the victim and family because of the fear of permanent brain damage. Even a so-called “mild” brain injury can mean a significant loss of memory, change in demeanor, or general confusion.

The term traumatic brain injury refers to damage to the complex and delicate tissues of the brain resulting from a blow to the head, rather than from lack of oxygen. It can cause various adverse effects, including:

While mild brain injury may heal significantly or only moderately impact the victim's life, people with traumatic brain injury often suffer permanent damage and typically require extensive medical and personal care for a lifetime.

Brain injuries can be difficult to diagnose. Symptoms may be mistaken for depression or other medical problems, and are not always revealed by brain scans. Diagnosis, treatment and adequate compensation require close monitoring and cooperation between family, medical experts and attorneys.
