Injuries sustained in automobile accident or other serious accident may not be apparent at first. You may feel fine at the time of the accident, but gradually you may start to notice difficulty in performing certain tasks. Symptoms may start to develop that you did not initially have. This is common in the event of a brain injury. An injury to the brain can occur when there is rapid deceleration or acceleration as in the instance of an automobile accident. It is always a good idea to get checked out by a doctor after you have had an automobile accident. Brain injuries are not always apparent at first and may require a thorough screening to detect the damage. An experienced Texas brain injury attorney can help you in the event your injuries were caused by the negligence of another.

You should be aware of the signs of Traumatic Brain Injury in the event you have had an automobile accident, slip and fall or sports injury. Symptoms include:

• Difficulty finishing tasks
• Recurrent headaches
• Unusually and easily fatigued
• Bouts of depression
• Difficulty concentrating
• Easily angered and/or irritated
• Easily distracted
• Frequent night waking
• Memory loss
• Dizziness

If you start experiencing any of these symptoms after an accident, see a doctor immediately.

Brain injuries are graded by degree - from mild to severe. When grading the severity of brain injury doctors will look for fractures to the skull and length of time the victim was unconscious. It is important to remember that even though you may have been diagnosed with a mild brain injury, the term mild does not reflect the severity of the symptoms. Someone with a mild brain injury may suffer severe, debilitating symptoms for up to a year or more. If you have suffered a brain injury due to the negligence of another, contact a San Antonio brain injury lawyer right away.

The danger of brain injuries is the swelling that occurs as a normal part of the healing process. Since the brain has little room to swell within the skull, the swelling can damage structures in the brain responsible for breathing control and heart rhythm. Medical attention is crucial for patients with a traumatic brain injury to heal properly. However, medical bills can mount quickly and loss of ability to work is often inevitable.
