Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) change lives in an instant. Whether the result of a serious car accident or a fall at work, these injuries can range from mild to devastating, and they often leave victims and their families reeling.

According to the CDC, approximately 214,000 TBI-related hospitalizations occurred in the U.S. in 2020 alone. That number underscores just how common and serious TBIs can be.

At Tyler Mann Injury Law, we understand the toll a TBI takes. We’re here to help families across Huntsville navigate this challenging journey and advocate for justice and compensation.

Traumatic Brain Injury Symptoms, Treatment, and Resources

Brain injuries aren’t always easy to spot. Initially, the symptoms may be subtle. But even a minor head injury can have serious consequences.

Keep an eye out for these signs after a head injury:

  • Headaches
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Dizziness or loss of balance
  • Memory issues or confusion
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Anxiety or depression
  • Mood swings
  • Changes in personality or behavior

If you or someone you love is experiencing any of these symptoms after an accident, it’s crucial to seek medical attention right away. Diagnosing a TBI often involves using several tools:

  • Glasgow Coma Scale: A neurological exam that assesses a person’s level of consciousness and response to stimuli
  • CT Scan: Imaging that can reveal bleeding, bruising, or swelling in the brain
  • MRI: A more detailed scan that can detect smaller injuries or long-term damage

Prompt diagnosis is essential not just for treatment, but also for building a strong legal case. Local hospitals, healthcare clinics, and rehabilitation facilities that can provide diagnosis and treatment of TBIs include:

The complications of a traumatic brain injury can also be difficult to handle. Thankfully, Huntsville residents have options for emotional and psychological support as they adjust to the changes their TBIs can make in their lives.

Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries

No two TBIs are exactly alike. Doctors categorize them by severity—mild, moderate, or severe—and by the type of damage:

  • Concussions: The most common form of TBI, often caused by sudden movement or impact
  • Contusions: Bruising of brain tissue, often caused by a direct blow to the head
  • Diffuse Axonal Injuries: Caused by violent shaking or rotation of the head, leading to extensive brain damage
  • Penetrating Injuries: Damage caused by an object piercing the skull and puncturing the brain, often resulting in permanent impairment

Each type of traumatic brain injury presents its challenges in both recovery and legal proceedings.

Common Causes of TBIs in Huntsville 

TBIs can occur anywhere, but certain situations are more likely to result in these injuries than others, including:

  • Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents: High-speed collisions and rollovers frequently lead to TBIs, especially when seatbelts or helmets aren’t used.
  • Slip-and-Fall Incidents: Falls are a leading cause of TBIs, especially among older adults and on unsafe premises like poorly maintained staircases or wet floors.
  • Workplace Injuries: In industrial and construction-heavy areas of Huntsville, falling objects and unsafe equipment can lead to head injuries.
  • Sports and Recreational Activities: Contact sports, cycling, and ATV accidents often cause concussions and other head trauma. In March 2025, WHNT reported on a Huntsville woman who suffered four concussions—one of which turned into a TBI—while playing youth sports, but managed to overcome them and become a teacher.
  • Acts of Violence: Assaults and gunshot wounds can result in serious penetrating brain injuries.

If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, let us help hold the responsible party accountable for your damages.

Getting Compensation for Your Traumatic Brain Injury

The costs of a TBI can be overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and financially. If your injury resulted from negligence, you shouldn’t have to carry that burden alone. Our team at Tyler Mann Injury Law can fight for compensation that may include:

  • Medical Expenses: ER visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and assistive devices can quickly become overwhelming. We pursue reimbursement for all immediate and long-term care needs.
  • Long-Term Rehabilitation and Therapy: Physical, occupational, and speech therapy may be required for years after the injury.
  • Mental Health Support: Counseling or psychiatric care to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other emotional challenges that follow a TBI.
  • Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Potential: Compensation for the income you lost while recovering, and future earnings you might miss out on.
  • Pain and Suffering: For the physical discomfort, emotional distress, and changes in quality of life brought on by the injury.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: When you can no longer participate in hobbies, sports, or activities that once brought you joy.
  • Permanent Disability: If your injury leaves lasting cognitive or physical impairments that limit your independence.
  • In-Home Care or Long-term Nursing Support: When daily assistance becomes necessary, whether from family members or professional caregivers.

We back all of this with our No Fee Guarantee®, which means you don’t pay us anything unless we get money for you.
