Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney | Sarasota and Manatee Counties
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be one of the most underdiagnosed injuries resulting from car accidents, especially rear-end collisions. Often the victims themselves underestimate the extent of their injuries. If they have no visible injuries, their first instinct is to refuse medical attention and worry instead about their car. Everything seems fine. Within 24 hours, however, everything can change.
Understanding TBI
Traumatic brain injury can occur when the head suddenly hits something or when it snaps back and forth, as can happen in a rear-end car accident. The brain can be forced back and forth within the cranium, and it may be badly bruised as a result. Depending on the severity of the damage, symptoms of a traumatic brain injury may include:
- Headache
- Confusion
- Loss of memory
- Poor judgment
- Personality changes
- Diminished ability to organize schedules
- Difficulty dealing with family members
- Coma
