New York, NY personal injury attorney Michael Ronemus talks about Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). He explains that traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is exactly what it sounds like—an injury to the brain. It often results from some form of trauma, which can include medical emergencies that cause a lack of oxygen or high-impact incidents, such as those experienced by athletes in contact sports. Even concussions fall within the category of traumatic brain injuries.
He notes that the majority of TBI cases he handles arise from construction accidents or motor vehicle collisions. In these circumstances, head trauma can lead to significant brain injuries, which in turn may cause a wide range of physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges for the affected individual.
