Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are among the most devastating injuries a person can sustain.

Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries

- Concussions — the most common form of TBI; temporary disruption of brain function that can have cumulative effects
- Contusions — bruising of brain tissue, often at the point of impact and the opposite side (coup-contrecoup)
- Diffuse axonal injury — tearing of nerve fibers throughout the brain, often from rotational forces
- Penetrating injuries — objects piercing the skull and entering brain tissue
- Anoxic brain injury — brain damage from oxygen deprivation (drowning, choking, cardiac arrest)
- Hematomas — blood clots between the skull and brain that can be life-threatening without emergency surgery
Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Blanchester
- Motor vehicle accidents — the leading cause of TBI in adults
- Falls — especially among elderly and construction workers
- Sports and recreation injuries
- Workplace accidents — construction, industrial, and warehouse incidents
- Assaults and violent crimes
- Medical malpractice — surgical errors, birth injuries, anesthesia mistakes
- Defective products — faulty helmets, safety equipment, or vehicles
Why Brain Injury Cases Require Specialized Attorneys
Brain injury cases are uniquely complex because the full extent of damage may not be apparent for months or years. Symptoms can be invisible to others yet profoundly affect the victim's ability to work, maintain relationships, and live independently. The Henry Law Firm works with neurologists, neuropsychologists, life care planners, and vocational experts to accurately document the lifetime impact of your injury and demand appropriate compensation.

- Emergency and ongoing medical treatment — surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation
- Future medical care — projected lifetime treatment needs
- Cognitive rehabilitation and therapy
- Lost wages and permanent loss of earning capacity
- In-home care and assisted living costs
- Pain and suffering — including emotional and psychological impact
- Loss of enjoyment of life
