California Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) usually results from a bump, blow or jolt to the head or body. Some injuries, such as a concussion, are called mild, while others involve severe brain damage or skull fractures. But even a so-called mild brain injury can lead to lasting symptoms and life-changing consequences. If you or a loved one suffered a head injury in an accident that was not your fault, Yerushalmi Law Firm can fight for the compensation you deserve.
Common Symptoms of a Brain Injury
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Confusion
- Fatigue
- Mood or behavior changes and irritability
- Dizziness
- Sleep problems
- Trouble concentrating
- Memory loss
- Blurred vision
Symptoms do not always appear right away and can take days or even weeks to show up. If you have been in any kind of accident and notice one or more of these symptoms, seek medical care immediately.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries are often caused by car, truck and motorcycle accidents, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, slip and falls, workplace accidents and acts of violence.
Why Brain Injury Claims Are Different
Many people with a brain injury look and move normally even though they do not feel normal. They may return to work but struggle to perform as they did before, and the effects can touch every part of life. Because these injuries can be hard to see, it is important that they are identified and documented by the right medical providers, so the full long-term cost of the injury is considered.
What To Do After a Head Injury
- Get a medical evaluation right away, even if you feel fine.
- Follow your treatment plan and keep all follow-up appointments.
- Write down your symptoms and how they affect your daily life.
- Keep your medical records, bills and work records together in one file.
- Do not give a recorded statement to an insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.
- Contact an attorney as soon as possible, because deadlines for filing a claim apply.
