What is mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI)?

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) is a type of brain injury caused by a traumatic force. MTBI often occurs as a result of a head wound, but can also be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that causes the head and brain to move suddenly and rapidly. MTBI is also known as a "concussion" or a "minor head injury," as the symptoms are typically mild compared to more serious brain injuries. Common symptoms of MTBI can include headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Depending on the severity of the injury, a person can experience additional symptoms such as memory problems, difficulty sleeping, personality changes, depression, anxiety, and difficulty with normal activities. Mississippi recognizes MTBI as a type of personal injury that can be compensated. This means that if a person has suffered an MTBI as a result of another person’s negligence, he or she may be eligible for financial compensation. If you or a loved one has suffered from an MTBI, it is important to consult an experienced brain injury attorney to learn more about your legal rights and options. The attorneys at The Law Office of John D. Giddens are experienced in MTBI cases and can help you hold the responsible party accountable and pursue the compensation you deserve.
