What You Should Do After Suffering a Traumatic Brain Injury
After a traumatic brain injury, seek medical help as soon as possible. A medical evaluation will help doctors point out the parts of your brain that suffered trauma, seek to relieve the pain, and manage the injury’s symptoms.
Additionally, the medical professionals treating you will prepare a medical report. You likely will need this document when you prepare to sue the liable party for compensation. It will serve as evidence of your injuries and help your lawyer estimate your possible compensation amount.
What Causes Traumatic Brain Injuries?
When victims suffer severe trauma to the brain, the organ’s function may be incapacitated. This affects their cognitive, sensory, and coordinative functions. The following can cause TBIs:
- Auto accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Physical assaults
- Recreational injuries
- Sports injuries
- Occupational injuries such as military blasts, gunshot wounds, and factory explosions
- Domestic and child abuse
If another party’s negligence caused your injuries, you might be eligible for compensation to cover the financial and emotional losses you’ve incurred. Our traumatic brain injury lawyers at Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to guide you through the legal process.
How Traumatic Brain Injury Signs and Symptoms Manifest
The signs and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury vary depending on the severity of the trauma.
