What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) affect thousands of Californians each year—many of whom are residents of Orange County. A TBI occurs when a sudden jolt or blow to the head disrupts normal brain function. This can happen in car accidents, construction site falls, slip and fall incidents, or workplace accidents. Even low-speed accidents can cause serious trauma.

Brain injuries can be either open (with a visible skull fracture) or closed (with internal damage such as bruising or swelling). Closed TBIs are often more dangerous, as pressure builds up inside the skull. Common outcomes include:

  • Loss of consciousness

  • Cognitive difficulties

  • Paralysis

  • Memory loss

  • In extreme cases, wrongful death

If you’ve suffered a head injury, seek immediate medical help—even if symptoms seem mild.

Recognizing TBI Symptoms

Many TBIs go undetected at first. If you or a loved one experiences any of the following after a head injury, contact a doctor immediately and speak to a traumatic brain injury lawyer in Orange County:

  • Confusion or memory loss

  • Persistent headaches

  • Dizziness or nausea

  • Sudden fatigue or sluggishness

  • Weakness on one side of the body

  • Vision or speech changes

Remember, a brain injury attorney in Orange County can help determine if negligence played a role and assist in building your legal case.
