Dallas Brain Injury Attorneys

Brain injuries have become a public health crisis in the United States, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, someone in the United States suffers a traumatic brain injury every 9 seconds. This means that more than 5 million people suffer brain injury in our country each year. A survivor does not always require medical attention, but the symptoms of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be incredibly dangerous.

Estimates indicate that between 3.2 and 5.3 million people in our country today need substantial care because of their otherwise manageable brain injuries. This makes it one of the most prevalent causes of death and disability in America.

These numbers are tragic and show the epidemic proportions to which preventable brain injuries have affected our country, our loved ones, our communities, and our workplaces. Colin B. Bober & Associates is a Dallas-based law firm with a long history of helping survivors and families recover the compensation & resources they deserve after suffering brain injury.

Defining a Brain Injury

A brain injury is an injury caused by injury to the head that affects the way the brain functions. There are two main types of brain injuries-feel free to contact us for more information:

1. Open Brain Injury: Resulting from an open head wound or as a result of certain medical procedures:
2. Closed Brain Injury:A result of what can be traumatic jarring of the brain within the skull.

What Causes Brain Injury?

There are many different types of accidents or incidents that leave no evidence of physical damage to the brain, skull, or scalp but leave a lasting impact on the quality of life. This is perhaps most true in schools where coaches, teachers, and school officials are often ill-prepared to protect students from falls, falls, and sports injuries.

Brain injuries can also result from road traffic accidents, especially when there is a collision, motorcycle accident, or car crash involving a pedestrian where there is serious injury. You may not have mentioned it at the time of the injury. Our team will investigate and check that all of your health care, even those with brain injuries, are assessed at the right time and compensated as well as possible. Your case is in good hands with Colin B. Bober & Associates, founded a firm that focuses on maximizing recovery in personal injury and brain injury lawsuits.

Symptoms of Brain Injury

There are many different types of head and brain injuries due to different types of accidents or incidents. The symptoms of a brain injury will vary depending on the type but should not be underestimated, even if they are not immediately viewed as the fault of any other individual or liable party.

Description of the ICD-10 Brain Injury Code

ICD-10cm is the external cause of injury coding system used by healthcare providers to code the diagnoses of conditions. When using external injury codes, it becomes easier both for providers to submit claims and for third-party payers (healthcare organizations that are reimbursing insurance claims) to review and check those claims.

Severity of Brain Injuries

Doctors have the difficult task of classifying the severity of a brain injury in order to determine the appropriate course of treatment. Quoting terms like "mild" or "moderate" can be misleading when dealing with situations involving a critical, life-altering event. Nevertheless, healthcare workers are trained to provide this information without misleading patients and their families.

Patients and families need to know in which grade their brain injury is classified as it significantly impacts their treatment options, goals for rehabilitation, and potential care needs in the weeks, months, and years ahead.
