Understanding the Severity of Brain Injury

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

This is the least severe of the three classifications and is often referred to as a mild traumatic brain injury or a concussion. Diagnosis typically involves evaluating factors such as whether you experienced loss of consciousness, had difficulty remembering events before or after the incident, or had a change in mental state at the time of the accident. Medical professionals may also use tests like the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). It is important to note that a mild traumatic brain injury may be present even if imaging results are normal.

Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury

For a moderate brain injury classification, doctors will consider the criteria for mild brain injury, along with additional factors such as: whether you were hospitalized for more than 2 days, if your amnesia lasted between 1 and 7 days, whether your GCS score is between 9 and 12, and if there are any operative intracranial lesions or abnormal brain imaging findings. Even if imaging does not show abnormalities, you may still be diagnosed with a moderate traumatic brain injury.

Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

A severe brain injury is classified based on criteria that include positive imaging results, a loss of consciousness lasting more than 24 hours, amnesia extending beyond 7 days, and a GCS score below 9. It is important to remember that a severe traumatic brain injury can be diagnosed even in the absence of positive imaging results.

Building your Traumatic Brain Injury Case and Damages That Can be Recovered 

Unfortunately, not all clients who suffer from brain injuries are able to make a full recovery. As a result, they often face the challenge of securing their financial stability, accessing the necessary professional services, and maintaining a life of dignity and independence. These individuals may also seek appropriate compensation for their pain and suffering. Boland Romaine’s experienced personal injury Lawyers understand that cases involving brain injuries require meticulous attention, substantial resources, and a skilled team to achieve a successful outcome. Key elements for essential litigation success in these complex cases may include:

  • Gather evidence: it is important that all of the evidence necessary to support the claim be gathered as soon as possible. Collecting documents and communications related to medical treatment, character witness statements, and other compelling evidence can be crucial to making a successful case.

  • Interviews:  it is our job to collect information from anyone who may be able to attest to your injury and its surrounding events. This may include witnesses, people who know the defendant, and yourself. 

  • Prepare witnesses: when preparing witnesses for a traumatic brain injury case, it is important to remember that no two cases are the same. Each witness should receive individual attention to make sure they understand what is expected of them and have the support needed during their testimony.

  • Comprehensive medical evaluation: ensuring that all aspects of the brain injury are thoroughly assessed by medical professionals to accurately document the extent of the damage and its impact on the client’s life.

  • Having medical experts examine and analyze your medical records:  engaging medical experts, neurologists, and vocational experts who can provide credible and detailed testimony about the injury’s effects and long-term prognosis.

  • Present your case: once we’ve compiled evidence and testimony, we’ll combine them with our legal expertise in order to aggressively advocate for you in the courtroom. We’ll anticipate the defendant’s defenses and excuses and present the facts, helping you receive the compensation you deserve.

  • Importance of professional evaluation: Even if symptoms appear minor at first, they should never be overlooked. Mild concussions can sometimes conceal serious underlying issues. It's vital to consult a specialist in brain injuries and concussions for an accurate diagnosis.
  • Diagnostic procedures and imaging techniques: To assess the severity of your injury and identify any potential complications, medical professionals may use various diagnostic tools. These can include neurological exams, cognitive assessments, and imaging techniques such as CT scans and MRIs.
