You Deserve Compensation For Your Traumatic Brain Injury
What at first may appear to be a minor headache or inability to concentrate may be something much more serious: a traumatic brain injury. The brain is very complicated and not completely understood by doctors who treat victims. Many catastrophic injuries to the brain are not easily diagnosed. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is generally caused by a blow to the head or sudden impact.
A TBI can even result without a direct blow or impact to the head. Shaken baby syndrome is an example of when there is no impact on the head, but the baby’s brain is seriously injured. In a car accident, a person can sustain a TBI if there is rapid acceleration or deceleration or if the car spins rapidly or rolls over even if the head is not directly impacted.

Symptoms Of A Brain Injury
It is estimated that 1.5 million people in the United States suffer a TBI every year. Some of the symptoms of a TBI include behavioral, cognitive and communicative dysfunction. A TBI can result in significant life changes including the inability to work and personality changes. In serious cases of TBI, a person is rendered incapable of caring for themselves on a daily basis.
Symptoms of TBI can have varying degrees of severity:
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Memory problems
- Concentration problems
- Slurred speech
- Loss of motor skills
- Loss of Consciousness
- Seizures
A TBI is generally diagnosed and treated by a neurologist, neurosurgeon and/or neuropsychologist. If you suspect that you may have any form of brain injury following an accident, I urge you to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
