Traumatic Brain Injuries

There are two types of brain injuries that people may suffer:  traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and non-traumatic brain injuries.  While both types can be devastating for individual sufferers and their families, those that suffer TBIs develop symptoms that may not only be permanent in nature, but life-threatening.

When people have sustained traumatic brain injuries, they may experience the following symptoms:  memory loss, slurred speech, immobility, loss of digestive functions, loss of respiratory functions, insomnia, mood swings and persistent pain. 

As you can imagine, these symptoms can disrupt a person's quality of life indefinitely, which is why people who have sustained TBIs due to other people's negligence are allowed to file claims in the state of North Carolina.  By filing claims, brain injury sufferers may be able to collect monetary damages for their medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.
