Even If You Think You’re Fine, You May Have A Traumatic Brain Injury

Car accidents, slip-and-fall accidents and other accidents that cause sudden, jarring motions can easily lead to head or brain injuries. Not all injuries, however, are easily visible after the accident.

You or a loved one may walk away from a closed or open head injury with seemingly full function, only later to realize symptoms like:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Confusion
  • Memory issues
  • Nausea and dizziness
  • Chronic, severe headaches
  • Numbness or weakness in a certain part of the body

These kinds of symptoms can arise from a sudden blow to the head from an external source (like hitting your head on the concrete when you slip and fall). They can also result from tears to the nerves inside the brain, as the brain is shaken from side to side inside the skull. Such serious trauma can result in brain bruising, bleeding and swelling.

Do not underestimate your symptoms. They could be indicative of a serious problem — one that the negligent party in your accident should be held accountable for.

It is crucial that you seek medical treatment after an accident whether or not you exhibit early symptoms of an injury. My law firm in Wauconda, Illinois, can help. Contact me online or by telephone at 847-584-3979 and work with directly with a lawyer who can help you get what you need.
