Seeking Compensation For Traumatic Brain Injury Victims Across Iowa

  • Birth injury: This includes brain injuries caused by the negligence of medical personnel during birth.

Common Types Of Traumatic Brain Injury

All TBIs are caused by head trauma, but the physical and mental effects may not appear right away. Sometimes victims go weeks or months before they begin experiencing or noticing behavioral changes, mood changes and other signs of damage. Types of TBI include:

  • Diffuse axonal: Multiple areas of the brain are damaged, frequently resulting in a coma.
  • Closed: Blood vessels and tissues in the brain are torn or bruised, but the bones of the skull are not broken.
  • Penetrating: The skull itself is fractured and the brain may be exposed.
