Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) & Nerve Damage

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 5.3 million Americans need long-term help performing daily activities due to a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Affecting one’s thinking, language, emotions, and ability to feel, traumatic brain injury can also lead to epilepsy or increase one’s risk of Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, or other disorders of the brain. TBI results from the brain’s rapid acceleration and deceleration, including the tearing of nerve fibers (called shearing), bruising of brain tissue (contusion), and swelling (edema). If a person experiences these symptoms as a result of accident, he or she may need help from a traumatic brain injury attorney.

If you or a family member has suffered from traumatic brain injury caused by an accident or another party’s negligence, Georgia attorney James Murphy can assist you. Whether you live in Carrollton, Douglasville, Bremen, Villa Rica, Smyrna, Hiram, Austell, Powder Springs, Lithia Springs, Dallas, or Atlanta, Murphy & Associates will provide you with expertise and compassion.

Symptoms of Brain Injury
Description: Since your brain sends signals to the rest of your body to function properly (including the way you move, think, feel, and act), symptoms of a brain injury can vary from cognitive to more physical types. Often appearing soon after a trauma or blow to the head, many symptoms of brain injuries exist in noticeable ways. On the other hand, some cases of brain injury result in more subtle symptoms, making it difficult even for the injured person to notice the warning signs of brain injury. If you have suffered a brain injury due to an accident that was no fault of your own, call 770-577-3020 for a free consultation and evaluation of your case.
Brain Injuries
Description: Like a fingerprint, every brain is different. Brain injuries can be just as unique. They can be severe or mild, permanent or temporary, sudden or develop some time after a trauma. An individual with a brain injury may not realize that he/she has one or may ignore the damage that can be caused by a concussion, a blow from a trauma or accident, or even from the heat. Brain injuries are also commonly referred to as Traumatic Brain Injuries, recognizing the fact that many brain injuries are the result of a trauma or an accident in which the head or brain receives an impact, such as during a car accident. The brain, however, does not need to be struck in order to suffer damage. If you believe there is the possibility that you have suffered brain damage, and that it is due to the actions of another, call our office at (770)-577-3020 for a free analysis of your case.
