What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

Traumatic brain injury occurs when the brain is violently jolted, shaken, pierced, or otherwise injured in such a way that causes physical damage to the brain. The complications of this type of injury can lead to long-term symptoms, paralysis, or even death.

Symptoms of traumatic brain injury include but are not limited to

• loss of consciousness,
• confusion or disorientation,
• an increased amount of sleep following an accident,
• loss of balance,
• headaches,
• nausea or vomiting,
• drowsiness,
• fatigue,
• difficulty falling asleep,
• blurred vision,
• ear ringing, or
• sensitivity to sound or light.

While these listed physical symptoms are common with this type of injury, a person will also suffer cognitive symptoms, including

• problems with memory;
• inability to concentrate;
• sudden mood changes or mood swings;
• feelings of depression;
• anxiety;
• agitation, anger, or violence not before present; or
• slurred speech.

These symptoms may all be signs that you suffered a traumatic brain injury following a motor vehicle accident. When this is the case, treatment is critical, but it will also be expensive. The person who caused the accident should be responsible for those costs, not you.
