Traumatic Brain Injury in Stamford

Traumatic brain injury is a common term for a severe injury to a person’s brain. A TBI is serious and often leads to symptoms ranging from short-term memory loss to comas to permanent disabilities. These injuries are caused by abrupt, extreme pressure or blows to the head or when an external object penetrates the skull.

Symptoms of a TBI do not always develop at the time of the injury. While a TBI may be clearly present at the time, the symptoms may increase in severity over time, especially if the injured person has not received proper treatment. Untreated damage may lead to the destruction of brain tissue and permanent disability. When these injuries are caused by someone’s reckless or negligent behavior, you may have grounds for a legal claim.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 190 people in the US die from TBI every day, with a total of 214,000 TBI-related hospitalizations annually. In the last 3 years alone, 439 people in Stamford have been involved in traffic accidents resulting in serious injuries.
