If you think you know someone who is demonstrating the signs or symptoms of a traumatic brain injury, you should contact a health care provider immediately. Getting help as soon as possible after an injury occurs can help speed up the recovery process.
What are the effects of a traumatic brain injury?
The effects of a traumatic brain injury can result in long term problems that can effect one's thinking, sensing, communication and understanding and can effect one's emotional state as well, resulting in depression or personality changes. These injuries can also develop epilepsy in an individual and increase one's risks of developing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Long term effects can lead to long-term medical costs and care. Almost half of individuals who are hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury end up with at least one unmet need a year after the injury first occurred. These needs range from memory and problem solving difficulties, trouble managing stress and controlling one's temper, emotional upsets and problems with job skills and performing at work.
If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury, you should be spending time resting and not worrying about your medical bills or going back to work too quickly. If your inury is a result of another's negligence, an attorney can help you get the compensation you need to cover your medical costs, lost wages and other needs.
