It is well recognized
and accepted in the medical community that a so-called
mild head injury can be a significant and serious traumatic
brain injury, with a major impact on family, personal
relationships and employment, even though the person
was not “knocked out” at the scene, did not suffer
a skull fracture or any cuts or broken bones, and even
though they may have been talking and exchanging their
driver’s license information and insurance information
at the scene of the accident.

In
crashes involving Traumatic Brain Injury, it
is quite typical that the injured person is at
first unaware of the significance of the event,
and by the time that the consequences of the
Traumatic Brain Injury begin to interfere significantly
with the person’s life, neither they nor their
family members relate the problems to the automobile
accident.

While there
are many signs and symptoms of Traumatic Brain
Injury, some of the leading ones that can be
present, without any other medical problems are:
• Headaches
• Memory problems
• Concentration and attention problems
• Personality change
• Difficulty with organization tasks, planning the
day, preparing meals, planning a work day or planning
and organizing activities
• Fatigue or inability to get going
• Inability to fall asleep or remain asleep
• Balance and dizziness problems
• Irritability, anger and/or frustration and emotional
problems
• Difficulty with reading or watching television
• Speech and communication problems with inability
to express thoughts and misunderstanding of others
• Depression, which can be related to the Traumatic
Brain Injury itself, and to the changes caused by the
Traumatic Brain Injury
