Posted By San Diego Accident Attorney on Oct 15, 2009 3:43pm PDT
Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, in its most mild form is a very common injury in car accidents, truck accidents, slip and fall accidents and other similar situations. The more commonly used term for this type of injury is "concussion." Symptoms of concussion may include:
- Headache
- Pain
- Dizziness
- Blurred/double vision
- Ringing ears
- Disorientation
- Slow cognitive response
- Nausea
- Post-traumatic amnesia
Though most people heal from mild head injuries without incident, there are some cases in which surgery is required to correct the brain injury. It is very important that you are able to receive proper medical care after suffering any type of head injury.
If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury in an accident that you believe was caused by negligence, it is very important that you speak with a San Diego injury attorney at the Zalkin Law Firm as soon as possible.
You could be able to recover monetary compensation for any costs resulting from the injury-causing accident.
