Brain Injury Prognosis

Traumatic Brain Injury Prognosis

Our Brain Injury Attorney Explains What To Know

Many different types of accidents can cause traumatic brain injuries (TBI) including car accidents, motorcycle accidents or a slip and fall accident. Our Reno brain injury lawyer Eric A. Stovall works with accident victims suffering from TBI and spinal cord injury. Doctors use various tests to determine their prognosis for victims of TBI; however, it is often difficult to determine how long someone will suffer from the effects of this type of injury.

What is a Normal Prognosis After a Brain Injury?

There is no single prognosis for victims of TBI. Doctors must consider many different factors when discussing what victims can expect in the days, months and years after they have suffered a brain injury. TBI victims can sometimes make a full recovery and then go back to their lives and jobs after their accident. However, some find that they suffer from prolonged or even life-long effects of their injuries, including memory loss, exhaustion, cognition problems and emotional instability.

Life Changing Effects of Brain Injuries

Brain injuries frequently cause lasting effects that can change a victim’s life in many different ways. TBI affects every victim differently depending on the severity of the injury and other specifics unique to each case. Some of the long-term necessities TBI victims require include:

  • Treatment and Rehabilitation. Some combination of occupational, speech, and physical therapies could be required on a short or long-term basis to aid in your recovery. Victims may also require treatment by neurologists as well as psychiatrists.
  • Lingering symptoms, including severe headaches and emotional symptoms, frequently require prescriptions for significant periods.
  • Nursing Care. Following the initial and intensive rehabilitation, victims may still require the aid of nursing care, either at home or as part of a residential facility.
  • Inability to Work. Victims of TBI often experience persistent symptoms that prevent them from resuming their previous jobs. Depending on the circumstances, victims may never be able to go back to their pre-injury professions.

If someone else’s negligence caused your brain injury, then you could be entitled to receive compensation for these long-lasting effects.
