Hartford Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney
Defending Victims in Hartford, CT - Call (860) 866-1024
One of the devastating consequences of personal injury is serious brain injuries. Known as traumatic brain injury (TBI), these intracranial injuries occur when the head receives a forceful blow. Although sometimes called head injuries, these injuries only refer to damage done to the brain, not solely the head. Traumatic brain injuries are one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. They can be sustained from auto accidents, slip & fall accidents, construction accidents, abuse, and much more. Sometimes they can occur from high speeds and acceleration (such as a roller coaster) without a physical blow. Pressure to the blood vessels within the brain can burst leading to internal bleeding and damage.
