Idaho Brain Injury Lawyer

While fracture or penetration can create traumatic brain injuries (TBI), the head doesn't necessarily have to strike an object to injure the brain. Because brain tissue is extremely soft, a sharp jarring motion may create enough impact for brain tissue to bruise, tear or bleed simply by crushing the brain against the skull. Damage to the brain may occur at the instant of impact or may occur afterwards due to brain swelling or bleeding into and around the brain within the skull.

Examples of TBI where there is no fracture or penetration include whiplash or "shaken baby syndrome." As a result, there are no signs of bleeding or external damage and this type of traumatic brain injury is also referred to as a "closed-head injury." Recently, amusement park thrill rides have come under scrutiny based on the contention that thrill-seekers' brains are being smashed into their skulls, causing brain bleeds and tears that can result in permanent damage or death.

Discuss your legal rights to seek financial damages if you or a loved one suffered serious injury as a result of another's conduct.
