A Sacramento brain injury lawyer can help you define a “Mild” Traumatic Brain Injury. Brain injuries can be termed “mild”, “moderate”, or “severe.” For a long time, the level of brain injury depended on how long a person was unconscious for. However, today, it is understood that brain injury can occur even when there is no loss of consciousness on the part of the victim. In some cases, TBI can occur even when there is no direct outside trauma to the head, and in some cases, TBI can escape detection from the most sophisticated scanning technology, such as CT, MRI or PET scans. Mild traumatic brain injury is defined by the Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee of the Head Injury Interdisciplinary Special Interest Group of the American Congress of Rehabilitative Medicine as being someone who has experienced physiological disruption in the functioning of their brain. This can be indicated by a loss of consciousness. It can also manifest as an alteration in their mental state when the accident takes places including a feeling of disorientation or confusion. It includes post-traumatic amnesia which does not last more than twenty four hours or a loss of consciousness which only lasts thirty minutes.
