What Are the Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a critical health concern that can drastically alter your life. These injuries often result from violent blows or jolts to the head or body, sometimes even from an object piercing through the brain tissue. The results can be devastating, leaving victims with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. If you’ve suffered from a TBI due to someone else’s negligence or carelessness, it’s essential to know that you have legal rights. The Horwitz Law Group is here to help you receive compensation for your medical costs, pain, and suffering.

Recognizing Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Symptoms

Mild TBI symptoms can sometimes be subtle and easy to overlook, but they require immediate attention nonetheless. You may experience physical symptoms like headaches, nausea, fatigue, speech problems, or balance issues. Sensory symptoms may include blurred vision, ringing in the ears, or sensitivity to light and sound. Cognitive or mental symptoms could involve brief loss of consciousness, confusion, memory problems, mood swings, or sleep disturbances. Despite the term “mild,” these symptoms are serious and warrant immediate medical attention.

Identifying Symptoms of Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries

Moderate to severe TBIs are more pronounced and can cause long-term complications or even death. Physical symptoms can range from persistent headaches, repeated vomiting, convulsions, or seizures to clear fluids draining from the nose or ears. Cognitive or mental symptoms may include profound confusion, unusual behavior, slurred speech, or even coma. If you notice any of these symptoms following a head injury, seek emergency medical care immediately.

The Crucial Role of Medical Attention

Regardless of the severity of your TBI, receiving immediate medical attention is paramount. Not only is this crucial for your health, but your medical records also play a significant role in any legal proceedings related to your injury. They provide documented evidence of the extent and impact of your injuries, which can be instrumental in seeking the compensation you deserve.

The Importance of Legal Aid in Traumatic Brain Injury Cases

Traumatic brain injuries are severe, life-altering events that require immediate medical attention. Recognizing the symptoms is the first step toward recovery and seeking justice. If your TBI was a result of someone else’s negligence, it’s essential to seek legal help. Victims with TBIs often face substantive medical bills, lost wages and other expenses are a result of their injury. A knowledgable attorney can lead you through the process of fighting for fair compensation for your damages and hold the other party accountable for your pain and suffering. 

We are unafraid to take any case all the way. Our vast experience and history of winning challenging cases can encourage insurance companies to offer fair settlements to avoid courtroom litigation. We are ready to fight for your rights and obtain the justice you deserve.
