Traumatic brain injuries are usually the result of a sudden, violent blow to the head in which your brain collides hard with the inside of your skull.  This impact can bruise your brain, tear nerve fibers, cause internal bleeding (subdural hematoma), and even lead to wrongful death.  Many times, people that suffer traumatic brain injuries often end up in comas or suffer amnesia (memory loss).  That is why brain injuries should be handled with extreme caution.  Your brain helps to define who you are, but it also controls your body movements. 

The leading causes of brain injuries are as follows: 

• Automobile accidents
• Head trauma
• Slips and falls
• Sports-related injuries

And here are some common types of brain injuries: 

• Anoxic Brain Injury
• Concussions
• Contusions
• Hematomas

Even though you and your family members must still find some semblance of a normal life, this can be made easier by hiring an experienced brain injury lawyer in San Diego (also known as a personal injury lawyer) to handle your personal injury claim.  Since brain injuries do not heal like other injuries, one moment you could be normal and the next moment your life could be forever changed, a condition that some of our clients in San Diego must deal with on a daily basis. 

Traumatic Brain Injury Symptoms

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the most common signs and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury are: 

• Headaches or neck pain that does not go away
• Difficulty remembering, concentrating, or making decisions
• Slowness in thinking, speaking, acting, or reading
• Getting lost or easily confused
• Feeling tired all of the time, having no energy or motivation
• Mood changes (feeling sad or angry for no reason)
• Changes in sleep patterns (sleeping a lot more or having a hard time sleeping)
• Light-headedness, dizziness, or loss of balance
• Urge to vomit (nausea)
• Increased sensitivity to lights, sounds, or distractions
• Blurred vision or eyes that tire easily
• Loss of sense of smell or taste
• Ringing in the ears

If you experience any of these symptoms, we strongly recommend that you contact your doctor as soon as possible.   When it comes to brain injuries, it is extremely important to diagnose your condition and treat it accordingly as soon as possible.  If left untreated, less serious brain injuries can lead to debilitating brain injuries and even wrongful death.
