Traumatic brain injury, also called TBI, occurs when the brain is injured by a sudden force or trauma. The brain can be driven into the side of the skull by a sudden blow, or by the force of shaking or “whiplash”. In either case, the brain can suffer bruising and swelling, and in some cases, the impact will be sufficient to tear blood vessels in the brain, causing intracranial bleeding. In these types of cases, it is important to consult with a Toronto traumatic brain injury lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case and file an injury claim. Our Toronto personal injury lawyers can assist in compiling evidence on your behalf and ensuring you know what to expect at each step of the legal process.
Impact Of A TBI
If the trauma results in damage to the skull itself, such as a crack or break, the trauma is considered a penetrating head injury. More difficult to diagnose are closed head injuries, in which the brain is injured but the skull remains undamaged. This can occur from a blow or impact, or from severe back-and-forth shaking, such as whiplash. Babies and small children can suffer such injuries from being shaken, the so-called “shaken baby syndrome”.
In any case of closed-head TBI, it is necessary to study the symptoms that follow the accident in order to diagnose the condition. Anyone who has sustained a blow to the head or whiplash-like injuries should be evaluated by a medical professional to determine if TBI has occurred. In many cases, the symptoms may be so slight as to escape the victim’s notice, but if treatment is not available, further injury can develop. Often the symptoms may be delayed for many hours until swelling in the brain reaches a point that affects the victim.
