Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury occurs when the brain bangs against the craggy inner skull. Usually, but not always, the outside of the skull also hits something. Something piercing the skull can also cause traumatic brain injury.

Common causes of traumatic brain injury are motor vehicle collisions, falls from heights, sports injuries, and violent crimes.

The effects are greatest immediately following the injury. With good care, however, a person can improve dramatically in the months that follow. Also, specialists can help people with brain injuries cope with the permanent effects of brain injuries.

It is important to get the help you need right away because after 18-24 months, it is unlikely that the injured person's brain will recover any further from traumatic brain injury.

I would be pleased to talk with you (for free) about your situation, so long as it is an Oregon matter.
