A traumatic brain injury, also commonly referred to as TBI, is a type of injury that occurs as the result of a blow or jolt to the head. It is estimated that 2.5 million people suffer a TBI each year. TBIs are classified as mild, moderate or severe. Falls, violence, car accidents, sports and explosive blasts can lead to traumatic brain injuries. Closed or open head injuries can cause traumatic brain injuries.
The type of treatment that one gets will depend on the severity of the injury. People who have a mild TBI will likely be told to rest and take over-the-counter drugs to reduce the pain. People who have suffered a traumatic brain injury will need to be monitored closely at home. They may also need to attend follow-up appointments. People who have a moderate-to-severe TBI may be given diuretics, anti-seizure medications and coma-inducing drugs. In some cases, emergency surgery may be required.
Brain injury lawsuits in Mississippi are subject to a three-year statute of limitations, meaning you typically have until the third anniversary of the date of the incident that caused your injury to file a claim in civil court. If you attempt to file a claim after the statute of limitations has expired, your case will likely be dismissed and you will be unable to recover compensation for your injuries.
While three years may seem like a long time, it is important you take action sooner than later. Brain injury cases can be extremely complex and require a thorough investigation to compile all the facts and evidence and determine the full extent of your injuries.
