Sacramento Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney
Many people associate brain injuries with comas and vegetative states. But, the truth is, brain injuries can vary from mild to severe. In fact, brain injuries are not always immediately apparent after an accident and the symptoms can appear slowly and progressively over time. For this reason, it is a good idea to see a doctor anytime you have been involved in an accident. Seeing a doctor immediately after an accident may allow you to trace your injury back to a specific event. This can be important if you need to take legal action in the future.
Identifying Brain Injuries
Brain injuries do not always appear on an MRI or CT scan. An experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI) lawyer should know how develop a brain injury case with or without evidence from these scans.
So, how do you know you have a brain injury if nothing shows up in an MRI or CT scan? There are generally three things that you should look for:
-
1) difficulty with short-term memory,
2) difficulty finding words, and
3) difficulty calculating simple math problems in your mind.
It may be difficult to determine the extent of these symptoms on your own, since everyone has occasional difficulty with memory, finding the right words and calculating simple math problems. For this reason, it is a good idea to ask a close friend or relative what they have observed about you to see if any of these things are a bigger problem than you may be aware of.
