What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occur when a jolt, blow, or penetrating object causes damage to the brain. Medical professionals classify TBIs by severity: mild, moderate, or severe.

Types of TBIs include:

• Penetrating TBI (open TBI): An object such as a bullet or blade pierces the skull and enters the brain.
• Blunt TBI (closed head TBI): A forceful impact causes the brain to bounce or twist inside the skull without breaking it.

Mild TBIs, such as concussions, can cause headaches, confusion, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating. While often temporary, these symptoms can still disrupt daily life in meaningful ways.

Moderate and severe TBIs involve more significant brain damage and can result in long-term or permanent impairments to physical ability, memory, emotion, and behavior. These cases typically require intensive medical treatment, inpatient rehabilitation, and ongoing support. If you’ve suffered this type of injury, our TBI lawyers in Laredo are ready to help you pursue compensation.

Common Causes of Brain Injuries

TBIs can happen in a wide range of accidents, often without warning. They frequently cause cognitive impairment, emotional changes, and lasting disruptions to a person’s life.

The most common causes of brain injuries we handle include:

• Falls: Falls are a leading cause of brain trauma, particularly when a person’s head strikes a hard surface.
• Automobile accidents: Laredo’s busy streets and highways make car and truck accidents a major source of TBIs. I-35, one of the most heavily trafficked commercial corridors in Texas, runs directly through the city and sees heavy truck volume year-round.
• Sports injuries: Contact sports carry real collision risk, and athletes can suffer TBIs from blows to the head or hard falls.
• Workplace incidents: Construction and industrial environments present elevated TBI risk due to fall hazards and heavy equipment.
• Physical violence: Assault and intentional harm can cause traumatic brain injuries that require extended recovery.

Recovery often involves lengthy rehabilitation at facilities such as Laredo Medical Center or Laredo Rehabilitation Hospital, as well as long-term monitoring for cognitive and emotional changes. As local brain injury attorneys, we factor in every dimension of your situation when building a legal strategy focused on your recovery.
