Different Levels of Severity in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic brain injuries are classified as being mild, moderate or severe.
- A severe traumatic brain injury means the affected individual has been rendered completely incapacitated, unable to live independently and unable to function in society.
- A moderate traumatic brain injury involves a decrease in cognitive functioning and a marked change in personality, like sudden impulsiveness, aggression or socially inappropriate behavior.
- A mild traumatic brain injury may cause decreased cognitive functioning, short-term memory loss, headaches and subtle personality changes.
Because it can be difficult to conclusively prove when a person's personality has changed, TBI cases require an experienced lawyer who knows how to work with medical and psychological experts.
