What Is a Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a forceful blow or jolt to the head or body, or an object penetrating the skull, disrupts normal brain function. The effects can be temporary or long-lasting and may impact how a person thinks, moves, feels, and behaves.

Types of TBIs include the following:

  • Concussions: A concussion occurs when the brain is jolted or shaken from a direct hit, sudden impact, or violent movement, such as in a car crash.
  • Contusions: A contusion is a bruise on the brain that can develop after an impact.
  • Coup-Contrecoup Injuries: These occur when an impact causes the brain to strikes the site of the blow and the opposite side of the skull, resulting in injuries at two locations.
  • Diffuse Axonal Injuries (DAI): These injuries happen when the brain rotates, tearing nerve fibers and potentially leading to serious long-term damage or coma.
  • Penetrating Injuries: These happen when an object breaks through the skull and enters brain tissue, often causing severe and life-threatening damage.

The aftermath of these injuries can result in medical treatment at facilities such as Northern Nevada Medical Center, ongoing rehabilitation, time away from work, and other related challenges. Our Sparks brain injury attorney can help you understand your legal options and pursue the compensation you may be entitled to.

Brain Injury Symptoms

Brain injury symptoms can sometimes take hours or even days to appear, so it is important to seek medical attention right away after any head impact, even if you feel fine initially. Early evaluation can help identify hidden injuries and ensure you receive proper treatment.

Families should watch for signs such as:

  • Headaches, dizziness, nausea, or balance problems after a blow to the head
  • Memory gaps, confusion, or trouble following conversations
  • Unusual mood swings, anxiety, depression, or irritability
  • Sensitivity to light, sound, or crowds that did not exist before
  • Difficulty at work or school with tasks that used to be manageable

When these kinds of symptoms follow an incident caused by someone else’s carelessness, it may be appropriate to explore legal options. Our experienced Sparks brain injury lawyer can help you understand how Nevada law may apply to your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I call a lawyer after a brain injury?

It is generally wise to speak with a lawyer as soon as you suspect a brain injury may be related to someone else’s negligence. Early guidance can help you avoid harmful statements, understand deadlines under Nevada law, and preserve important evidence while you focus on medical care.

How will your firm handle my loved one’s brain injury case?

We begin with a free, confidential consultation to learn what happened and how your loved one has been affected. If we proceed, we review medical records, evaluate damages, and handle communications with insurers. Throughout the process, you can speak directly with Attorney Klearman about important decisions.

Will I have to pay anything upfront for legal help?

You will not pay for your initial consultation with our firm. We explain fee arrangements during that meeting so you understand how costs are handled before choosing to move forward. Our goal is to make legal guidance accessible to families already facing significant medical and financial concerns.

What if my brain injury symptoms showed up later?

Delayed symptoms are common with brain injuries, and they can still be significant. You should seek medical evaluation as soon as new issues appear and let providers know about the original incident. A lawyer can then assess how this pattern fits within a potential claim under Nevada law.
