Brain injuries after any accident can quickly turn into life-threatening events. Just last week, we discussed the severity of brain bleeds. The truth of the matter is that even something as seemingly minor as a concussion can affect you for the rest of your life. We understand that many brain injuries are seemingly invisible.
In some cases, you might end up without an official diagnosis of a brain injury right away. Some brain injuries won’t show up on diagnostic testing. In some cases, even the behavioural changes that occur won’t lead to an official diagnosis.
Anyone who has been in an accident and suffered a hit to the head should be on the lookout for symptoms of a brain injury. One of those symptoms is a headache that won’t go away. Memory problems, behaviour changes, dizziness, irritability and sleep disturbances are also signs of a brain injury.
If the brain injury is moderate to severe, the symptoms are usually more severe. Convulsions, an inability to awaken, slurred speech, dilated pupils, loss of coordination and repeated vomiting are some of the signs of a more serious brain injury.
If you think you might have suffered from a brain injury in a car accident or another accident, you should seek medical care. You might also consider seeking compensation for your injury.
We can help you with the legal aspects of your claim. If you have suffered from a brain injury that requires medical care, rehabilitation, long-term care or any other treatments, we can help you seek compensation to help cover the bills related to the injury.
