You do not need to be hit on the head to have a traumatic brain injury—rather, a strong jolt to your body can be enough to have repercussions in your brain. Brain injuries are classified as either open or closed and mild, moderate or severe. Open TBI’s refer to those injuries that open some part of the skull or are visible from the outside; whereas a closed TBI is all within the skull/brain and not visible to the naked eye. Whether you’re diagnosed with a mild, moderate or severe traumatic brain injury depends on the nature and degree of your symptoms. Mild brain injuries that cause little damage may never show up in an MRI/CT scan but can still cause adverse physical issues for months. Severe brain trauma results in profound disabilities that range from limited consciousness to complete comatic state.
Following a proper and thorough diagnosis by a medical professional, the financial impact of treating a TBI can be tremendous. This financial strain is further exacerbated by the fact that many suffering from a TBI hare forced to take significant if not permanent time off work.
