Currently, traumatic brain injuries, “TBIs,” are the leading cause of death and disability in children in the U.S. TBIs include concussions and contusions to the brain. Concussions are a sudden jolt to the brain, causing twists and stretches in the cells and nerves in the brain, changing how chemicals in the brain function for a short time. Contusions result from the jarring of the brain against the sides of the skull, causing tearing of the internal lining, tissues, and blood vessels of the brain.
Symptoms of TBIs in children include loss of consciousness, severe headaches, nausea and vomiting, loss of short-term memory, slurred speech, trouble walking, seizures or convulsions, comas, blood or clear fluid draining from ears or nose, and dark circles in the center of the eye.
TBIs are all too common and usually the result of negligence or gross negligence. TBI victims and their family members are entitled to justice.
