Some of these injuries, in particular traumatic brain injuries create lifelong effects on a person’s quality of life. A “mild” traumatic brain injury is when the injured individual was unconscious for 30 minutes or less. When one has suffered a severe concussion, there can be changes in the quality of life. Some of the symptoms that can occur in a “mild” traumatic brain injury include:
- Memory loss
- Numbness in limbs, hands or feet
- Confusion
- Depression
- Headaches
- Changes in vision
- Forgetfulness
- Mood swings
- Seizures
- Difficulty concentrating
- Headaches
- Persistent pains
- Speech problems
- Blood pressure problems
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Angry outbursts
These symptoms can change over time, and medical science does not have a complete handling for traumatic brain injuries. The more serious brain injuries have even more devastating effects including:
- Paralysis (quadriplegia or paraplegia)
- Vegetative state
- Coma
- Numbness or lack of sensation in legs, hands, or feet
- Loss of mental ability
- Total memory loss
Some of these injuries are not yet curable. In the future one hopes that medical science with new technologies will find a way to heal spinal and brain injuries. However, if you or a loved one is dealing with such an injury now, you want the best possible medical care and most advanced treatments available. With the help of a skilled personal injury lawyer from the Knowles Law Firm, it increases the possibility that you or your loved one gets the treatment they so rightfully deserve.
