According to the CDC, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized by its upfront impact on the way that the brain works. It can lead to both short-term and long-term health complications, including disability and death. In 2019, an estimated 61,000 deaths were attributed to TBI, which translates to about 166 deaths per day. Brain injuries can be caused by accidents like falls, motor vehicle crashes, or firearm-related incidents. Some brain injuries are also due to medical mistakes.
Perhaps you’ve suffered a brain injury as a result of an accident, negligence, or medical malpractice and find yourself dealing with symptoms like memory loss, paralysis, or depression.

There are two primary types of brain injury: Traumatic and non-traumatic. The first is related to concussions, hemorrhaging, and direct trauma, while the second occurs due to conditions like infections or lack of oxygen. Either type can result in serious short-term or long-term side effects, including:
- Cognitive impairment (issues with memory, concentration, or reasoning)
- Language impairment
- Mood swings
- Anxiety and/or depression
- Coordination and balance problems
- Vision and hearing problems
- Limb weakness
- Paralysis
Brain injuries may also result in death. While some brain injuries stem from trauma such as a car accident or fall, others are due to medical mistakes. Even those that are related to accidents can be exacerbated by medical negligence or malpractice, such as:
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to diagnose a heart attack, stroke, blood clot, pulmonary embolism, or other serious conditions
- Delayed diagnosis and treatment
- Failure to diagnose and address excessive bleeding
- Improper intubation
- Anesthesia errors
- Medication errors
- Surgical errors
Regardless of the cause of your brain injury, you may be left to cope with the consequences, which is why it’s so important to partner with a qualified and trusted brain injury attorney like the ones at The Ruth Law Team.
