Causes of Brain Injury – How a Brain Injury Lawyer Can Help

The human body is an amazing biological machine and can recover from horrible injuries with the right medical treatment and care. However, the brain, the center of so much of what makes us human, is not so easily healed. Every day, scientists and doctors learn more about brain injuries, their treatment and the dangers of what is known as TBI: traumatic brain injuries. We are slowly learning the effects of these injuries on our brave soldiers overseas, as well as athletes such as football players or boxers.

However, the harsh truth is TBI does not require a combat injury but can be found in auto accident victims, slip and fall accident victims, medical malpractice victims and any other head trauma injury victims. Indeed any time the head is violently struck or pierced, TBI can occur. Sadly the symptoms of TBI often mimic those of other disorders and so is often missed or misdiagnosed.

  • Dizziness
  • Blurred vision or tired eyes
  • Ringing in the ears
  • A bad taste in the mouth
