Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic brain injuries are caused when trauma to the head damages the brain. The effects of a traumatic brain injury can vary from mild to life-changing. Some of these effects include:
• Memory loss
• Headaches/Migraines
• Vision impairment
• Speech impairment
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Confusion
• Numbness in your arms or legs
• Ringing in the ears
It is imperative that you seek immediate medical attention after suffering a trauma to your head. Traumatic brain injuries are often misdiagnosed because their symptoms resemble those of many other conditions. Also, the symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can remain unnoticed until several days after the trauma. Accordingly, if you have suffered a head trauma, you may think you feel fine and you are okay, however you should seek medical attention anyway. A CT scan may need to be performed in order to properly assess whether a traumatic brain injury has been suffered.
Traumatic brain injuries are often suffered after car accidents, slip and falls, or any other incident that causes injury to the head. The brain is protected by our skull; however, when we suffer a trauma to the head, the brain may move inside the skull, colliding with the skull wall, and causing a traumatic brain injury.
If you have suffered a brain injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a valid legal claim. Please contact the traumatic brain injury attorneys at The Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb, P.A., serving the West Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie areas of Florida, today.
