What are the Signs and Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury?
While any brain injury can be serious, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are considered to be the most severe. These injuries can be extremely difficult for the victim and their family, causing a heavy burden. If you notice the following symptoms, be sure to seek immediate medical care and legal counsel.
Cognitive Symptoms
- Difficulty explaining thoughts
- Difficulty processing information
- Shortened attention span
- Memory loss
- Inability to understand abstract concepts
- Impaired decision-making ability
Physical Symptoms
- Headaches
- Slurred speech
- Sensitivity to light
- Paralysis
- Seizures or tremors
- Loss of consciousness
Emotional/ Behavioral Symptoms
- Severe changes in mood
- Irritability
- Aggression
- Lessened emotional reaction
- Heightened emotional reaction
- Anxiety
Perceptual Symptoms
- Changes in sensations (hearing, touch, taste)
- Heightened sensitivity to pain
- Impaired sense of balance

Some of the symptoms of serious brain injuries may be hard to identify at first. If you or a loved one were in an accident where you hit your head or suffered other injuries, it is important to monitor your symptoms and / or have another who can assess your condition. Seeking proper medical attention right away is also crucial. Even doctors may fail to initially identify TBI, so make sure you follow up with your health care provider if you have any concerns.
