What Are The Common Causes Of Traumatic Brain Injuries?
Many different types of accidents can lead to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Common causes of brain injuries that our lawyers see include:
- Car wrecks on busy Lake of the Ozarks roads
- Boating accidents, especially in the spring and summer months
- Truck crashes due to their power, size and speed
- Falls at work or home
- Faulty products failing, leading to injury
Knowing the exact cause strengthens your claim, so our Lake of the Ozarks brain injury attorneys dig deep to connect the dots and present strong evidence.
What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Brain Injuries?
Spotting a catastrophic injury like a TBI early on can be critical. Some signs are subtle, while others are unmistakable and require urgent medical attention. Watch out for the following signs and symptoms after an accident:
- Headaches that linger or worsen
- Dizziness, nausea or trouble sleeping
- Slurred speech or memory lapses
- Mood swings, like sudden anger or sadness
- Seizures, numbness or fluid from the nose/ears
These symptoms can signal serious harm, and waiting can exacerbate the situation. Our legal team works with medical experts to tie these signs to your accident and seek fair compensation.
What Should You Do After Suffering A TBI?
After a TBI, the following steps are key to protecting your health and personal injury claim:
- Seek medical attention immediately, even for mild symptoms.
- Take photos of the accident scene if you are able and obtain witness contact information.
- Keep all medical records, bills and documentation related to your medical condition.
- Avoid talking to insurance companies without a lawyer.
