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. Seek the experience of a Texas brain injury lawyer
if your injuries were due tot the negligence of another.
