Unfortunately, many victims of serious accidents will suffer traumatic brain injuries. From car accidents to slip and falls, it can be hard to gauge the severity of an injury as soon as it happens. As always, seek medical help immediately when you suffer an accident, no matter how minor it may feel.
What are the Common Symptoms of a TBI?
Traumatic brain injuries can devastatingly impact the well-being of a victim and their families. Learn the early signs of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in order to stay vigilant about your health after an accident and be acutely aware of any symptoms you may be experiencing.
- Common symptoms include:
- Disorientation and/or confusion
- Persistent headaches
- Distorted memory

Cognitive changes are the landmark symptom of traumatic brain injuries. In the event that you or a loved one have suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, the consequences can be overwhelming. It can be extremely daunting and scary to be physically well but mentally feel delayed or different. It’s important to remember that help is available, and you do not have to suffer alone.
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above and have yet to seek medical care, please do so immediately. In the event that you’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury at the negligence of another party, find a personal injury lawyer as soon as you’re medically able to do so.

How Does a Lawyer Fight For Traumatic Brain Injury Victims?
A traumatic brain injury is devastating not only for victims but for their families, as well. It’s important to partner with an experienced lawyer because you deserve compensation for what you’ve suffered. Medical care for a traumatic brain injury can be astronomical, especially with the addition of rehabilitative services that many victims ultimately require.
A lawyer will also help you create a long-term medical care plan that properly accounts for any future care you may need. If your traumatic brain injury affects your ability to hold a job or continue your education in the future, working with a lawyer can ensure these life changes are properly factored into the compensation you receive.
Can Pain and Suffering Be Included in a TBI Case?
In addition to the medical issues that arise when you suffer a traumatic brain injury, pain and suffering play a huge role in the recovery process. It can be devastating to experience the onset of a traumatic brain injury and the symptoms can be scary and overwhelming. If your cognitive abilities are affected by your injury, the emotional damage can additionally take a toll on your mental well-being. The right attorney will factor your pain and suffering into your case and be sure you’re properly compensated for the burden placed upon you.
