- Brain Injury
Catastrophic accidents can lead to significant damage and injury. Not only can these accidents take a variety of forms and severity, but all of them have the potential to impact a person or family for the rest of their life. From truck accidents to construction site falls and nearly everything in-between, anyone can fall victim to a traumatic brain injury. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX catastrophic injury attorneys discuss the signs and symptoms that accompany individuals who have endured a traumatic brain injury.
Changes in Cognitive Ability
A traumatic brain injury is considered to be a disruption to the normal function of the brain caused by an outside force or jolt. For instance, a violent blow to the head can result in damage to the tissues inside of the cranium. Depending on the area of the brain that is affected, the impact and side-effects a person experiences can vary across the board. Injuries of this nature are fairly common, affecting more than 200,000 people in the United States every year.
One major impact of a traumatic brain injury includes changes in one’s cognitive abilities. An example of this might include difficulty concentrating or focusing, difficulties with processing and taking longer to process one’s thoughts, and other problems with cognitive skills such as judgment, reasoning, learning, concentration, and memory. To learn more about the changes in cognitive ability that can result from a traumatic brain injury, give our office a call today.
Behavioral and Emotional Impacts
In addition to the cognitive complications that can arise, traumatic brain injuries can result in behavioral impacts as well. Indeed, individuals who have experienced a brain injury may have difficulty with self-control, a lack of awareness of one’s own abilities, difficulty in social situations, may engage in risky behaviors, and may engage in verbal and physical outbursts. A person who has experienced a brain injury can experience emotional changes as well, including depression, anxiety, anger, insomnia, irritability, and mood swings.
