How to Recognize a Traumatic Brain Injury

Brain injuries are one of the leading causes of preventable death, and they can be caused by a wide variety of different events: car accidents, sports injuries, falls, and domestic violence. Anything that causes a sudden traumatic injury to the head can result in brain damage. What’s worse, many Americans are not familiar with the obvious signs of a traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBIs require quick diagnosis and treatment, and every minute counts. Being familiar with the signs can be the difference between life and death.

If you or someone you love has been affected by a traumatic brain injury caused by someone else’s negligence, the New Jersey personal injury attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. may be able to help you get the compensation you deserve. Contact us today by calling 800-346-5529.

Brain Injury Symptoms

Each brain injury is unique, and not all exhibit the same symptoms. However, some of the most common symptoms are:

  • Unconsciousness. The duration of unconsciousness is often directly related to the severity of the damage, and can last from a few seconds to minutes or longer.
  • Headaches, nausea, dizziness, and lack of motor skills.
  • Experiencing strange sensations, such as tinnitus (ringing in the ears), or a bad taste in the mouth.
  • Fatigue and sleepiness.
  • Noticeable mood swings or uncharacteristic behavior. The victim might act unusually, and may seem disoriented.
  • An appreciable difference in the size of the pupils.
