Traumatic Brain Injury After a Car Accident
Posted August 1st, 2024 by Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) resulting from a motor vehicle accident can cause severe damage to the brain during a collision. The force of the impact may cause the brain to move violently within the skull, leading to injuries that range from mild concussions to severe injuries with permanent damage. Medical care is essential after such traumatic injuries to prevent further complications. Patients recovering from TBIs often face cognitive impairments, emotional instability, and depression, along with physical symptoms like loss of balance and double vision. Medical professionals emphasize that untreated TBIs can escalate into more serious conditions, such as secondary brain injury, where the brain experiences further damage in the hours to days following the initial impact.

Millions of people entrust their health and safety to medical professionals daily, believing they are in good hands. This trust is a testament to the high standard of care that hospitals are expected to uphold. However, there are instances when this trust is broken, and healthcare providers fail to meet this standard, leading to medical errors that harm patients. This is what we refer to as medical malpractice.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s action or inaction deviates from the accepted standard of care, directly harming a patient. Examples of medical malpractice include misdiagnosis, birth injuries, and wrongful death. These errors can have severe consequences, damaging the trust in doctor-patient relationships and causing significant harm.
