Common Causes & Symptoms Of Traumatic Brain Injuries

There are many types of accidents that can result in a TBI. The most common accidents include:

It’s important to get evaluated for possible brain injuries as soon as possible after an accident, because these injuries can have a dramatic impact on a person’s life. The sooner treatment begins the greater the possibility of reducing the long-term impact.

Traumatic brain injuries can affect the victim’s cognitive abilities, which includes memory, decision making and reasoning abilities. The areas of the brain that control sensory functions can also be affected, causing changes in hearing, vision, touch and sight.

TBI can also affect a person’s communication skills and cause emotional problems such as depression, aggression and anxiety.

How A Manhattan Beach Brain Injury Lawyer Can Help

The brain is the functional center of the body. The cost of treating traumatic brain injuries is extremely high and those costs are likely to continue for the rest of the victim’s life.
