Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
A traumatic brain injury is often referred to as a closed head injury when the skull has not been fractured. Doctors sometimes have difficulties diagnosing and treating closed head injuries. There is a common misconception about traumatic brain injuries, unless there is evidence of a fractured skull or if the victim is in a coma, that most people do not consider any other type of brain injury to be traumatic. This is inaccurate; doctors have found that even the mildest closed head injuries results in conditions that are similar, if not worse in some cases, to those found in traumatic brain injuries.
Conditions caused by a closed head injury are not apparent right away. Symptoms can take days, weeks and even months to surface. People that experience the symptoms of a brain injury usually do not associate the injury with an accident they had weeks or months ago.
Common symptoms of a closed head injury are as follows:
- Difficulty paying attention and concentrating
- Problems making sense of what has been read or seen on television
- Forgetting things
- Finding it difficult to learn new tasks or complete tasks
- Confusion in finding places or following geographical directions
- Unclear thinking
- Inflexibility
- Diminished organizational skills
- Poor decision making, judgment, and reasoning
- Brain injury can also cause physical problems such as fatigue, restless sleeping, dizziness, headaches, and speech problems.
