Nationwide Mass Tort Representation
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Lawyer
What is a traumatic brain injury?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often the result of a drastic bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body from an object that may pierce the skull or enter the brain. Some TBIs are temporary and cause short-term problems with how a person thinks, moves, communicates, and acts. In more severe cases, a person can become disabled or die.
There are two types of TBIs: penetrating and non-penetrating. In a penetrating TBI, an object enters the skull and damages only part of the brain. A non-penetrating TBI is an extreme, blunt force — caused by falls, car crashes, or sports injuries — that can move the brain inside the head.
It is estimated that 2.8 million Americans sustain TBIs annually. If another party may be at fault, our injury lawyers can help you recover compensation for your suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, and similar losses.
Is a TBI permanent, or will it get better?
Traumatic brain injuries can be temporary in mild cases or permanent. Mild injuries like concussions can disappear a few days or weeks after the injury. People with moderate symptoms might recover but could experience long-term effects like headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, and memory problems.
In more serious cases, recovery might take two to 10 years or more — and some brain injuries never heal entirely. Neurosurgery, occupational and physical therapy, speech and language therapy, and psychological services might all be needed.

What are the symptoms of a traumatic brain injury?
Many people who experience a TBI can have short- or long-term symptoms. Common examples include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Ringing in the ears
- Headache
- Hypersensitivity to light, noise, touch, smell, or taste
- Fatigue
- Sensitivity to crowds
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Difficulty sleeping or oversleeping
- Changes to sex drive
Recovery after a TBI takes time and money for previous medical bills, ongoing medical support, and treatment. Our head injury lawyers help injured victims and their families improve their financial futures.
What are the most common causes of traumatic brain injuries?
Auto Injury
Vehicle and motorcycle collisions commonly cause concussions, contusions, penetrating brain injuries, and diffuse axonal injuries that can lead to coma or death.
Sports Injury
Contact sports endanger athletes — football alone results in 47,000 brain injuries yearly, while cycling causes more than 85,000 sports injuries annually.
Workplace Injury
Building owners or property managers who fail to meet standards of care put workers at risk through missing safety equipment, inadequate training, or faulty equipment.
Product Liability
Defective products — choking hazards, items that melt or catch fire, unstable structures, mechanical defects — harm people every day, often preventably.
Slips and Falls
Usually the result of a neglected property. The CDC reports 28% of TBIs are caused by falls. One slip can change a person's life in an instant.
Birth Injury
Brain damage at birth can result from physician negligence and medical malpractice, leaving babies with lifelong physical and mental disabilities.
Assault
The third most common cause of TBIs. About 25% of TBIs are caused by violent acts — a hit or blow to the head can lead to lifetime consequences.
How do I prove a traumatic brain injury?
It is necessary to prove an accident or a company’s negligence caused your TBI and resulted in lost wages, a decline in quality of life, and significant medical bills. Constant Legal Group will work to prove your injury is related to an accident, assault, or a defective product.
Start a paper trail
Document the accident, hospital stays, visits, general medical records, and changes to your job or quality of life.
Participate in diagnostic tests
Tests like the Glasgow Coma Scale, an MRI, computerized tomography, or a TBI x-ray and ICP help confirm and grade the injury.
Prove severity and long-term impact
Establish what has been spent on medical care and lost wages, and the lasting effects on your life.
Retain a TBI diagnosis
See a physician and keep medical paperwork listing mild, moderate, or severe symptoms tied to the accident.
