Volunteer Coordinated Treatment Find a Doctor Getting Involved Contact Us Adult and Pediatric Outpatient Neurorehabilitation Brain injuries affect thousands of children and adults each year. They may be the result of trauma to the brain from car accidents, falls, strokes, tumors, infections, and seizure disorders. These injuries can result in impairments of cognitive and physical functions, as well as changes in personality and behavior. In turn, these problems may affect academic and work performances. For the family of an individual with a brain injury, this can create stress and disrupt the family system. Brain injuries are complex problems that require intensive rehabilitative efforts during both hospital and post-hospital phases. Our adult and pediatric programs in neurobehavioral rehabilitation provide a variety of comprehensive inpatient/outpatient programs for adults and children with brain injuries. Each program is individualized and is provided by our interdisciplinary team of brain injury specialists. Outpatient Rehabilitation A variety of outpatient services are provided for adults and children with brain injuries. Return visits to our Outpatient Rehabilitation Services allow the treatment team to assess the individual's progress and to monitor and update his or her post-hospital rehabilitation plan. Individuals suspected of having a brain injury, as well as those who require a comprehensive evaluation, rehabilitation program or assistance with community/work/school re-entry, may also be appropriate for referral to our outpatient services.

It is a complex and specialized area of personal injury law. Individuals who suffer Traumatic Brain Injury ("TBI") are often confronted with confusing lifestyle changes not easily understood by the victim or the victim's family. Simple tasks once taken for granted may become cumbersome or even impossible. Loss of short and long-term memory often results from traumatic brain injury, as well as problems with the ability to focus and concentrate, and complete tasks at work. Often times dramatic mood swings take place. Family members often observe that a TBI victim has become "a different person." However, because there is often no outward manifestation of TBI, others may lack an appreciation of the extent of such an injury. A basic understanding of the legal rights of a TBI victim can help victims and family members deal effectively with the crisis of a head injury. What Is Traumatic Brain Injury?

The traumatic effects of a brain injury can often last a lifetime; leaving the victim of the injury and their families to cope with a potentially debilitating injury. A brain injury or traumatic brain injury can be the result of a blunt trauma to the head. Every year, over 1.3 million Americans suffer from some form of impact or trauma to the head/skull. Head injuries and trauma that result in brain damage may require years of consistent rehabilitation, treatment and ongoing medical care. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, over 1 million victims are treated every year for suffering some type of brain injury. Falls, such as slip and falls, trip and falls or falling over objects account for over 28% of all entire brain injury incidents. Car accidents, traffic accidents and other motor-vehicle accidents make up 20% of brain injury incidents with the remaining roughly 30% being caused by assaults or strikes. Brain injuries can cause many different types of functional and thought-process effects including the inability to properly speak, think, loss of sensation, loss of mobility and loss of language skills.

Brain Injury / Head Injury Brain Injury Lawyer Texas / Brain Injury Law Firm Attorneys and lawyers providing legal assistance regarding head injuries and traumatic brain injuries for persons in Texas. The brain is a three-pound mass of gray matter enclosed in the cranium. It interprets sensory impulses, coordinates and controls bodily functioning and is the center of emotion and thought. The brain has three main sections: the cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum and brain stem. There are left and right cerebral hemispheres. They are divided into sections called lobes. The left cerebral hemisphere controls the right side of the body and is responsible for speech. The right cerebral hemisphere controls the left side of the body and is responsible for creative thinking. It’s estimated that 8 million people sustain brain injuries each year in the United States. At least 2 million of those injured will be permanently impaired. After brain injury things that once were easy and familiar become strange and difficult. A great deal of mental effort is usually required to do things that required little or no effort before the brain injury. Work, school and personal relationships suffer. The injured party often becomes less efficient at their job and their livelihood is jeopardized. Often they become unpredictable, unreliable, and sometimes violent. When the victim of brain injury is a child, they can develop behavioral problems at home and school. Often they regress to an earlier development state. As you can imagine, a brain injury can affect the entire family.

Law Links Injury Traumatic Brain Injury Introduction Introduction Demand Letter Links Glossary ... Publications Each year, about two million people in the United States sustain a head injury. About eighty-five percent are considered to be "minor" in nature. However, many of these minor head injuries have significant, long-lasting results. In many cases, the injuries which result in traumatic brain injury may be bloodless, require no medical care, and initially seem non-disabling. In fact, many times the victim does not lose consciousness at the accident scene. Additionally, in many cases, physical and neurological examination, x-ray, CAT scan, and MRI scan will reveal no objective problems, but microscopic research has shown that irreversible nerve damage can occur even when the head does not strike an object, but instead is only shaken violently as in a whiplash incident. Traumatic brain injury cases require highly technical evaluation and extensive attention to detail. This is because many health care providers as well as attorneys often misunderstand and misevaluate the potential devastation of a mild brain injury. Many of the symptoms of mild to moderate organic brain injury are subtle, making it difficult to assess; and often a client's initial treating or emergency room physician will fail to detect traumatic brain injury. Moreover, a client with traumatic brain injury is often unaware or denies that she suffers from such an injury despite obvious changes in her personality, work habits, memory or lifestyle. Consequently, these victims never receive proper medical attention for the physical, cognitive, and psychological impairment that follows.

It can also result in the disturbance of behavioral or emotional functioning. These impairments may be either temporary or permanent and cause partial or total functional disability or psychosocial maladjustment. Traumatic Brain Injury can be cause by shaking (as in Shaken Baby Syndrome), a direct blow to the head (concussion), or impact from bullet, knife or other sharp object that forces hair, skin, bone and fragments from the object into the brain (penetration injury). Closed Head Brain Injury When a person receives an impact to the head from an outside force, but the skull does not fracture or displace this condition is termed a "closed head injury". The brain swells but has no place to expand, thus causing increased pressure within the skull which can force brain tissues to compress, causing further injury. When a person suffers severe physical injuries, the focus is often on the visible injuries. Closed head injury to the brain is one of the most overlooked and sinister outcomes of traumatic injuries. Broken bones and cuts can heal, but the unseen injury of a bruised brain may never fully recover.
