What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when an external force — such as a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury — disrupts normal brain function. TBIs can range from mild (concussions) to severe injuries that cause unconsciousness, memory loss, or long-term cognitive impairment.

Common symptoms may include:

  • Headaches or dizziness

  • Loss of consciousness

  • Memory or concentration issues

  • Mood swings, depression, or anxiety

  • Blurred vision or light sensitivity

  • Fatigue or sleep disturbances

Even a seemingly “mild” concussion can have lasting effects. That’s why it’s critical to seek both medical attention and legal guidance after any head injury.

Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

In Guntersville and across Alabama, traumatic brain injuries often result from preventable accidents, including:

  • Car accidents: High-speed or rear-end collisions frequently cause TBIs due to sudden head movements or impact.

  • Workplace accidents: Falls from heights, falling objects, or machinery incidents are common causes of brain injuries.

  • Slip-and-fall accidents: These everyday events can cause severe head trauma, especially among older adults.

  • Motorcycle or bicycle accidents: Riders face an increased risk of brain injury even when wearing helmets.

  • Sports injuries: Contact sports and recreational activities can result in concussions and long-term head trauma.

  • Violent assaults: Blunt-force trauma or physical altercations can also lead to TBIs.

When negligence or unsafe conditions contribute to a brain injury, the responsible party should be held accountable.

The Lifelong Impact of a Traumatic Brain Injury

A TBI doesn’t just affect the brain — it affects every part of your life. Victims may face:

  • Cognitive challenges, such as memory loss, confusion, or difficulty processing information.

  • Physical limitations, including paralysis, headaches, balance issues, or speech difficulties.

  • Emotional and behavioral changes, like irritability, depression, or anxiety.

  • Financial burdens, from ongoing medical bills, lost wages, and the need for long-term care.

Families also bear the emotional and financial weight of caregiving, lost companionship, and lifestyle changes. That’s why seeking fair compensation is essential for long-term stability and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Traumatic Brain Injuries

1. How long do I have to file a TBI claim in Alabama?

You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim in Alabama. However, there are exceptions — for example, if the victim is a minor or mentally incapacitated. Contact a lawyer immediately to ensure your claim is filed on time.

2. What kind of compensation can I expect for a TBI case?

Compensation depends on the severity of your injury and its impact on your life. You may be entitled to recover for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and long-term rehabilitation costs.

3. What if the person injured was partially at fault?

Alabama follows the contributory negligence rule — if you’re found even 1% at fault, you may be barred from recovering compensation. That’s why having an experienced TBI attorney is essential to protect your claim and present a strong case for full recovery.
