Personal Injury Lawyer

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) happen when a person endures sudden force to the head, which disrupts the brain’s normal functioning. A TBI can result in either a hefty blow, or from an object penetrating the skull and entering brain tissue. Symptoms associated with a TBI can be mild or severe, depending on how much damage was done to the brain. One factor that can complicate matters further, is if another person or party was at least partially responsible for the traumatic brain injury.

If you believe this may be the case for your accident, we suggest talking with an attorney for advice on how you can seek justice for the wrongdoing.

Symptoms to Watch Out For

Mild cases of TBI may cause a brief loss of conscious, along with nausea and vomiting. For more serious injuries, the brain may swell, blood may ooze from the skull, in addition to profound confusion. Anyone who thinks they may have suffered from a TBI, must go to the nearest emergency room regardless of the severity. Here are symptoms to watch out for if you are concerned about having sustained a traumatic brain injury:

  • Headaches that won’t go away
  • Vomiting and/or nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Blurry vision
  • Dilated pupils
  • Seeing double
  • Looking into bright light is intolerable
  • Clear or blood-tinged liquid coming from ears/nose
  • Balance difficulties
  • Slowed pulse
  • Trouble breathing
  • Body numbness
  • Body tingling
  • Droopy eyelid
  • Facial weakness
  • Ringing in ears

Collecting Medical Documentation

If you meet with an attorney about your traumatic brain injury accident, it can be helpful to have medical documents which go into detail about the severity, prognosis, and treatment plan. Keep receipts for anything you paid for out of your own pocket for medical care. If another person is liable for your injuries, receipts for the amount you faced in financial loss can help your attorney estimate how much to fight for in your lawsuit.

Temporary and Long-Term Impacts

Depending on the depth of the brain injury, a person may have to go through rehabilitation, hire professionals to offer care in the home, or make permanent changes to their lives due to newly developed TBI-related disabilities. The impacts of a TBI accident may follow someone temporarily, or for the rest of his or her life. The consequences of a traumatic brain injury can be expensive and emotionally agonizing, especially for more severe cases.

Seeking Legal Help

Victims do not have to accept what has happened to them. By consulting with an attorney, you have someone who can investigate into your accident further and see if another person could be at-fault. Even if a financial award cannot take back what happened, at least it can help you continue receiving the care you require to take care of yourself. Victims can contact a brain injury lawyer in Orlando, FL to receive a free appointment, to find out more about their legal options. Please call today.
