Traumatic Brain Injuries & Concussions

All brain injuries are commonly followed by some form of unconsciousness, whether lasting for seconds, hours, days, or weeks. They may occur as a result of brain swelling, bleeding, or being punctured by an object. The symptoms and consequences of such an injury vary, depending on the type and severity of the injury.

The consequences of a TBI can include:

• Headaches
• Confusion
• Nausea and vomiting
• Dizziness
• Seizures

• Amnesia
• Slurred speech
• Loss of coordination
• Loss of sensation in various parts of the body
• Agitation

Long-term consequences can range from cognitive dysfunction to personality changes, mood swings, inability to concentrate, learning disability, speech problems, memory problems, fatigue, paralysis, sleep disturbance, depression, and more.

How Harmful Is a Concussion?

As mentioned above, concussions are less severe injuries to the brain and symptoms may not manifest immediately. In fact, the person may not realize they have sustained a concussion at all. However, any blow or jarring of the brain should always receive medical attention.

The effects of a concussion may include:

• Mild or severe headaches
• Vertigo
• Difficulty concentrating
• Confusion

• Sensitivity to light or noise
• Loss of balance
• Fatigue

Generally, symptoms of concussion may subside after a few weeks or months. In some cases, however, they can persist for much longer, disabling the individual in his or her daily activities or work. Both concussions and more serious brain injuries are often difficult to diagnose and treat and may lead to long-term health complications.

Common Causes of Brain Injuries

• Motor vehicle accidents, including car, motorcycle, and rideshare collisions
• Bicycle accidents
• Slip and fall accidents in public places or private properties
• Workplace accidents, particularly in construction or industrial settings
• Sports-related injuries and recreational accidents

Signs and Symptoms of a Brain Injury

• Persistent headaches or migraines
• Memory loss, confusion, or disorientation
• Difficulty concentrating or speaking
• Changes in mood, personality, or behavior
• Vision problems, dizziness, or sensitivity to light and sound

These symptoms may appear immediately or develop gradually after an accident. It’s essential to seek medical attention as soon as possible and document your condition if you plan to pursue a legal claim.
