Effects of a TBI
A TBI can be hard to detect at first; symptoms may occur days or weeks after the accident. You should see a doctor immediately if you think you might have a brain injury.
People with a brain injury may suffer numerous physical and mental symptoms, such as:
- Personality changes
- Depression and anxiety
- Memory loss and confusion
- Severe headaches
- Impaired motor function
- Coma
The effects of brain injuries often cause disability. Brain injury victims may be unable to return to work, enjoy the same activities or live without assistance. They may need a lifetime of medical care from specialists such as neurologists.
You will need compensation for these expenses, as well as lost income. Depending on the cause of your injury, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability/Supplemental Security Income (SSD/SSI) benefits and workers' compensation. If it is a work-related accident caused by a negligent third party, you may be able to collect additional damages.
