OHIO BRAIN INJURY ATTORNEY

Advocating for Victims of Traumatic Brain Injuries

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can turn your life upside down. In the aftermath of your TBI, you may be left with a permanent disability, which may affect your ability to work, interact with others and provide for your family. People who have suffered a traumatic brain injury often experience significant cognitive decline, which may force them to give up ambitious and financially rewarding careers for lower-paying jobs, jeopardize future career advancement or prevent them from working at all.

A traumatic brain injury may cause psychological changes and compromise emotion regulation. Someone who was once calm and optimistic may now suffer from depression and be irritable and prone to aggressive outbursts. These changes in personality can have a negative impact on personal and professional relationships.



If you or someone you love have suffered a TBI caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for the losses you were forced to endure.

What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury typically results from a powerful blow to the head. TBIs are common among car accident and physical assault victims, although there are other instances that may cause the injury, including gunshot wounds, slip or tripping and falling, sports injuries, work accidents and birth injuries.



Every traumatic brain injury is unique and symptoms can range from minor to severe. Some factors that may affect your ability to recover from your TBI include the severity of your injury, affected areas of the brain, age and preexisting mental and physical conditions. Although many people who’ve suffered a TBI make a full recovery, others may suffer permanent brain damage or even death.

What Are the Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A TBI can have a wide array of physical and behavioral symptoms. Although each TBI is different, some of the most common symptoms include:

• Confusion and memory problems
• Headaches
• Nausea and vomiting
• Slurred speech
• Seizures
• Fatigue
• Dizziness and loss of balance
• Mood changes
• Difficulty sleeping or sleeping more than usual

Sometimes symptoms of a TBI may not manifest for several hours or even days after the accident, which can increase the likelihood of complications due to a lack of timely medical care. Even if you’re not showing any symptoms of a TBI, you should still seek immediate medical attention after suffering a head injury to protect your health and increase your chances of recovering compensation for your injuries.
