- Brain Injury
A serious injury to any part of the body can have long-term effects, and for some, life will never be the same. Indeed, damage such as that caused by a traumatic brain injury may result in paralysis in a particular area of the body, difficulty with motor function and routine, and even cognitive disruptions. Though there may be options out there to help make this process as smooth as it can be, you also need the help of an experienced brain injury attorney to obtain the best possible outcome in your legal matter. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX catastrophic injury attorneys discuss common outcomes of traumatic brain injuries and explain how our team can help with the legal side of things.
Physical and Sensory Symptoms
While most people do not want to experience an injury of any degree, it goes without saying that some injuries are much worse to obtain than others. For instance, a person may much rather opt for a broken bone as opposed to paralysis, if given the option. This is because the former is temporary, but the latter is permanent and life-changing. Much in the same way, a minor brain injury may heal with time, but a severe traumatic brain injury can affect the body permanently in several different ways.
A traumatic brain injury is one that is often caused by a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. Depending on the region of the brain affected, any number of concerns can arise. For instance, physical and sensory symptoms can arise such as blurred vision, ringing in the ears, and sensitivity to light or sound. Moreover, persistent headache, repeated vomiting, loss of consciousness and more can occur. To learn more about this process, contact our office.
Altered Consciousness and Behavioral Changes
Another effect of a traumatic brain injury may include altered consciousness, where prolonged changes in a person’s state of consciousness, awareness or responsiveness occur. For example, an affected person may go into a coma, a minimally conscious state, a vegetative state, or experience brain death. Additionally, people who have had a traumatic brain injury may begin to have difficulty with self-control, in social situations, a lack of awareness of abilities, and verbal or physical outbursts.
Intellectual Disruptions
Individuals who have endured a major brain injury may experience changes in their cognitive and executive functioning skills. This includes complications with memory, reasoning, learning, and judgment, as well as difficulties planning, multi-tasking, decision making, and organization. In other words, it may be more difficult to focus and take longer to process one’s thoughts. Reach out to our office to learn more today.
