Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be a life-altering and devastating injury. While common belief attributes TBI to trauma that occurs to the head through physical force, TBI may also occur from acceleration and deceleration forces, such as when a person experiences whiplash. TBI is associated with all kinds of symptoms ranging from nausea, dizziness and fatigue to problems with memory, uncontrollable emotions and even a vegetative state. With such a varying amount of symptoms, medical professionals have classified TBI into three categories: mild, moderate and severe. Despite the patronizing designation of "mild," mild TBI can still dramatically change your life and should not be taken lightly. Sometimes the effects of TBI are not readily apparent after an accident. For this reason, it is important to seek medical treatment immediately after any sort of accident, whether it is a car accident, motorcycle accident, truck accident or any sort of accident where your head may have been injured. The longer you wait to see a doctor, the harder it will be to prove that your injuries are a direct result of an accident.
