Traumatic Brain Injury Symptoms

Philadelphia & Lancaster, Pennsylvania Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is typically the result of an external force that causes the brain to collide with the skull. While the effects of TBIs are occasionally temporary, many TBI victims suffer long-term physical impairment, permanent disability or even death.

If you or a loved one experienced a traumatic brain injury that was caused by the negligence of another, the experienced Pennsylvania traumatic brain injury attorneys at Atlee Hall may be able to help you pursue financial compensation, including money for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Although TBIs are typically accompanied by a number of wide-ranging symptoms, these signs vary by individual and circumstances surrounding the source of the brain injury. TBI symptoms are not always immediately apparent, and a TBI can often be diagnosed before multiple signs become evident.

Common symptoms of TBIs include:

• Behavior changes
• Blurred vision or double vision
• Dizziness
• Fluid or blood leaking from the ears or nose
• Cognitive difficulties
• Memory loss
• Motor function loss
• Nausea or vomiting
• Numbness or tingling in the extremities
• Pupils that do not respond to light or differ in size
• Respiratory problems
• Ringing in the ears
• Seizures

A TBI can be the result of any impactful force to the head, and traumatic brain injuries are often incurred in:

• Car accidents
• Construction accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Premises liability (slip-and-fall accidents)
• Truck accidents

TBIs are typically life-altering injuries that may require multiple surgeries, long-term rehabilitation and ongoing care.
