Bethesda Maryland Brain Injury Attorneys

Have you or a loved one suffered a traumatic brain injury?

Traumatic brain injury -- often abbreviated as TBI -- can present profound, often life-changing consequences for those that suffer through it. Although victims of mild TBI can fully recover, if certain injuries are not treated and rehabilitated effectively, life-long problems may persist. All told, according to CDC statistics, TBI kills more than 50,000 people annually and causes long-term impairment for nearly 100,000 Americans. The CDC reports over 5 million U.S. citizens currently suffer from some form of traumatic brain injury, and many experts believe this reported figure is actually low – that the "real" numbers are much higher.

Causes and Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury

The causes of traumatic brain injury in Washington DC can range from firearm injuries to slip-and-falls to chemical exposure to automobile crashes. Comas, stroke, and an impairment of the body's ability to deliver oxygen to the brain are also top causes of the condition.

Given the nearly unfathomable complexity of the brain and the intricacies of neuropathways required for day to day functioning, TBI can result in a wide range of symptoms, including but not limited to:

• Disorientation
• Nausea
• Loss of ability to speak
• Diminished sense of smell and taste
• Seizures
• Fatigue
• Disorders of the hormonal system
• Social/emotional problems
• Loss of hearing
• Loss of sight
• Pain and/or numbness
• Impaired ability to reason
• Loss of mobility
• Paralysis
• Death
