How We’re Advocating for TBI Victims in March and Beyond AWARENESS TO ACTION
Because the brain controls nearly everything we do, even a “mild” TBI can lead to drastic changes in a person’s quality of life. Clients can experience disinterest in hobbies, changes in personality, or difficulty performing tasks they once found easy. These injuries can make everyday life, and even relationships, unpredictable and challenging. Why Brain Injury Cases Are Challenging TBIs are among the most fiercely contested cases by insurance companies. Unlike visible injuries such as broken bones, the symptoms of a brain injury are often internal and subjective, making them harder to prove. Insurance adjusters may question the severity of the injury, leaving victims to face an uphill battle for fair compensation. In these cases, observations from family and friends often play a critical role. They can provide detailed insights into how the injury has affected the victim’s mood, mobility, and overall well-being. This testimony is invaluable in demonstrating how the injury has altered the client’s life and underscores the extent of their damages.

Every March, we observe Brain Injury Awareness Month to shine a light on the challenges faced by those affected by brain injuries and to educate our community about this complex and life-altering condition. At Parnall Law Firm, we understand the profound impact a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have on individuals and their families. These cases are not only difficult to measure but also deeply emotional, as they often alter the very essence of a person’s life. Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, occurs when the brain is damaged due to an external force, such as a blow to the head, a fall, or a motor vehicle accident. These injuries can vary widely in severity, from concussions often categorized as “mild” to severe injuries that lead to permanent cognitive or physical impairments. Regardless of the severity, brain injuries can affect every aspect of a person’s life — how they think, feel, and act — making them uniquely challenging to diagnose and address. The Complexity of Brain Injury Cases One of the most challenging aspects of TBI cases is that no two injuries are exactly alike. The effects depend on factors such as the cause, location, and severity of the injury, and symptoms can range from subtle mood changes to significant physical disabilities. For example, a fall may result in a localized injury affecting mobility, while a car collision could cause widespread damage impacting memory, behavior, and emotional regulation.
