The Complex Nature of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can vary from mild concussions to severe trauma that can lead to long-term or permanent disability. Common causes of such injuries include vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, and workplace accidents. The effects of a brain injury can be catastrophic, often altering a person’s ability to think, emote, and perform various physical tasks.
At Arnold & Itkin, we help those who have suffered from traumatic brain injuries such as:
- Concussions: Often caused by direct blows to the head, violent shaking of the head, or force.
- Contusions: Bruising of brain tissue, frequently requiring surgical intervention.
- Penetrating Injuries: Resulting from objects piercing the skull and entering brain tissue.
- Anoxic Brain Injuries: Caused by the brain not receiving enough oxygen.
- Diffuse Axonal Injuries: Caused by severe rotation or shaking of the head, as often seen in car accidents.
Symptoms & Long-Term Effects of Brain Injuries
The symptoms of a brain injury might not be immediate and can develop over days or weeks after the incident. If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s imperative to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Common symptoms include:
- Cognitive impairments such as memory loss and decreased attention span
- Behavioral changes such as irritability and impulsivity
- Physical symptoms like chronic pain, fatigue, and impaired coordination
- Emotional disturbances, including depression and anxiety
Long-term effects can be even more severe, potentially leading to permanent disability that can affect every aspect of a victim's life, including their ability to work, maintain relationships, and manage daily activities.
