Traumatic Brain Injuries

Experience when it matters most

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) often occur as the result of a motor vehicle accident, and may cause victims to lapse into a coma, suffer from functional deficits and even die.

Symptoms of traumatic brain injury

Traumatic brain injuries are often difficult to detect immediately after a motor vehicle accident occurs. Many TBIs take weeks or months to manifest symptoms and victims are often unaware that their mental, emotional or physical state has been compromised. Common symptoms of TBI include:

  • Dilated/unequal pupils
  • Loss of motor skills
  • Weakness in limbs
  • Altered vision, hearing or smell
  • Slurred speech
  • Vomiting
  • Fatigue
  • Cognitive deficits
  • Memory loss
  • Changes in mood/behavior
  • Chronic headaches
  • Seizures
  • Dizziness
  • Loss of consciousness

Do not fall victim to insurance companies

Insurance companies often move to settle cases involving serious motor vehicle accidents as quickly as possible. You should be aware that they may have ulterior motives for offering this payment. Insurance companies frequently try to force victims to settle quickly so the company will not be held responsible for more serious injuries that may arise in the future. For example, many traumatic brain injuries cannot be diagnosed until weeks or months after an accident occurs. These companies take advantage of the fact that families may need money to help care for the victim and pay bills immediately after the accident, and quickly offer settlements to avoid paying a much greater amount in the future.

Attorney Steven Snow recommends that you do not accept an initial settlement offer until you know the full extent of your injuries. By going to follow-up appointments and undergoing appropriate diagnostic testing, your physician will be able to recognize and treat a TBI.
