Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers in St. Louis
Fighting For Brain Injury Victims in Missouri
Hard collisions, piercing injuries, or even a sharp jolt to the head, neck, and/or spine can cause a traumatic brain injury. These wounds are dangerous not only because the brain controls all the functions we need to survive, but also because once destroyed, a brain cell cannot be regrown or replaced. If enough brain cells are killed due to a head injury, the victim is likely to face lifelong disability.
It’s difficult for both patients and their families to adapt after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Depending on the severity of the injury, everyone’s life may be turned upside down. Of course, there is the emotional struggle of going through—or watching someone you love go through—the arduous healing process. TBI can also impact a victim’s ability to work, care for others, and engage in activities they once loved. That’s not to mention the additional medical care they may need.
For anyone in this position, our team is truly sympathetic—and we want to help. If you or someone you love suffered a brain injury due to another person’s negligence, you deserve financial support to give you a secure future. We’re here to uphold your right to compensation. Reach out to our team if you’re looking for someone to explain your legal options.

Understanding a Traumatic Brain Injury
Any sort of brain damage can have serious impacts on a victim’s life, but doctors classify brain injuries into 3 levels based on the amount of damage and a patient’s expected outcome. However, you should note that any projections regarding TBI are very generalized. Each person’s brain is unique, and there is no way to tell what the effects of an injury will be until the victim has regained consciousness.
Based on the patient’s response to the injury and following stimuli, here are the levels of TBI.
Mild TBI
Concussions are the mildest and most common type of TBI. They may result in a short loss of consciousness (less than 30 minutes), a brief blackout, or no change in consciousness at all. Though these injuries may fully heal, being the only type where brain cells are not completely destroyed by the impact, victims may suffer symptoms such as headaches, balance issues, vision trouble, and changes in personality. These symptoms will resolve within a month for around 50% of victims, but others may experience post-concussion syndrome for months or even years after the injury.
