A Brain Injury Can Change Your Life

Even if an accident, such as a car accident, seems minor, serious injuries can result. These include traumatic brain injuries (TBI). After a brain or head injury, many individuals may not immediately realize that something is wrong. However, once the symptoms of a TBI begin to appear, the injury may already be permanent and have a lasting impact on the victim’s life.

Symptoms And Effects Of Brain Injuries

Although your skull is strong and designed to protect your brain, the brain is still very vulnerable to injury. Depending on the extent of the force of the car accident, falling object or other accident, various levels of brain injuries can result. Some of the symptoms of a brain injury can include:

  • Headaches
  • Memory loss
  • Speech impairments (slurred speech)
  • Loss of motor control
  • Mood swings or personality changes
  • Other varying symptoms

Typically, the effects of a concussion or a contusion are both immediate (brain swelling, internal bleeding) and long-term (memory loss, personality change, concentration difficulties). Early intervention and rehabilitation can make a lifelong difference in a victim’s degree of recovery of normal functions.
