Common TBI Symptoms to Look Out For
What symptoms are indicative of a TBI? Forgetfulness, gaps in your memory as to how the crash occurred or what happened immediately afterward, dizziness, ringing in your ears, any problems or sudden changes to your vision, queasiness in your stomach, difficulty sleeping or wanting to sleep abnormally (e.g., too long or too little) are indicators that you may have a more serious problem. Also, get a family member or someone living with you to keep an eye on you as, frankly, you might not be in shape to properly assess yourself.
The Importance of Keeping an Active Log
The Mayo Clinic's website has an excellent section on TBI’s. It can be found here.
If you find that you do have some of the symptoms and you think that they were not diagnosed properly, you need to write them down ASAP and tell your doctor or healthcare provider immediately. Also tell your Frederick personal injury lawyer promptly. Hopefully your symptoms will heal quickly. Every year, however, we’ve had a significant number of clients who didn’t have attention paid to early TBI symptoms and they later found that those symptoms were the most difficult to overcome in the long-term. It's also one the defendant's insurance company will try to discredit. It’s really important to get the proper diagnosis and care early on and also to make sure that your Frederick personal injury lawyer knows that you’ve got this problem so that it can be a component of the claim made with the defendant's insurance company.
