When some people hear the term "
brain injury", they immediately conjure images of a person with
paralysis or serious emotional or communicative problems. However, subtle brain injuries in the form of concussions can have lasting effects on a person making it difficult to perform daily tasks without difficulty.
It is important to note that a person does not have to lose consciousness to sustain a brain injury. Likewise, while a person may look "normal" on the outside, there may be internal damage to the brain's complex cerebral, cervical and cranial areas.
- Symptoms of subtle brain injury
- Dizziness
- Difficulty with memory or concentration
- Headache
- Interruption in sleep patterns
- Emotional problems, such as irritability
- Confusion
- Weakness
- Ringing in ears
- Insecurity
- Visual problems
While scientists continue to develop new MRI techniques and handheld monitors for measuring brain injury in accident victims, athletes and more, this condition continues to be overlooked and misdiagnosed. Brain injury victims who are not properly treated by a trained medical professional may experience worsening effects over time, leading to a poor quality of life.
If you feel you are the victim of a subtle brain injury as a result of the fault of another party, you may be able to collect compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages and pain and suffering.
