Traumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to damage to the brain caused by an external physical force such as a car accident, a gunshot wound to the head, or a fall. TBI is not caused by something internal such as a stroke or brain tumor and it is possible to have a TBI and never lose consciousness.

Common criteria created by the TBI Model Systems (TBIMS) to identify the presence and severity of TBI include:

Damage to brain tissue caused by an external force and at least one of the following:
  • A documented loss of consciousness
  • Unable to recall the actual traumatic event (amnesia)
  • Has a skull fracture, post-traumatic seizure, or an abnormal brain scan due to the trauma

How is a traumatic brain injury diagnosed?


One of the most important ways to assist your physician in diagnosing your Traumatic Brain Injury is to explain specific problems that you are experiencing. Rozek Law Offices has created this downloadable Traumatic Brain Injury Symptom Checklist for Wisconsin TBI victims.

The doctor will ask you questions about the injury. He or she may ask questions that test your ability to pay attention, learn, remember, and solve problems. The doctor will check for physical signs of a brain injury by checking your reflexes, strength, balance, coordination, and sensation. The doctor may order imaging tests such as a CT scan or an MRI to make sure that your brain isn’t bruised or bleeding. You may need tests to see if your brain is working as it should.

Attorney Randy Rozek’s Experience


At our Milwaukee, Wi location, veteran personal injury attorney Randall Rozek serves on the Board of the Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group of the American Association for Justice and is the editor of the Journal of Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation. A member of the Brain Injury Association of America, Rozek also speaks to lawyers and doctors in order to educate them on such issues, particularly in the area of representing victims of Traumatic Brain Injury. In May of 2016, a jury returned a $7.25 million verdict in a difficult bicycle vs. pickup truck collision after only 3 days of trial. The award was based on Rozek’s success at excluding certain damaging evidence and overcoming unfavorable testimony from the defendant, investigating police officer and an independent witness. In his closing, Rozek asked for $5.25 million, but the jury recognized the severity of his client’s injury and instead awarded $7.25 million.
