The symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can be best explained by a Michigan brain injury lawyer. The materials discussed above define a mild TBI as they would be defined by a Michigan brain injury lawyer. Symptoms of a TBI though, may be persistent and ongoing, or erratic and fluctuating. As such, contacting a professional attorney immediately is imperative to the success of your case. The sooner you contact a lawyer, the sooner your symptoms can be monitored. However, patients with mild TBI can show regular symptoms of mental, emotional, cognitive, behavioral and/or physical change. These symptoms can be located into three general categories (listed below) and should be considered a good diagnostic tool for deciding whether or not mild TBI has occurred.
Physical Symptoms:
- Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headaches, blurry vision, trouble sleeping, easily tired, loss of sensation, disorientation etc. that cannot be attributed to any other injury or cause.
Behavioral Symptoms:
- Changes to emotional responses, i.e. quick to anger, irritability, disinhibition;
- These symptoms are not accountable based on psychological, physical, or emotional stress.
Cognitive Symptoms:
- Changes to attention span, concentration ability, perceptiveness, memory loss, and speech or language problems that are not a result of a stressful emotional or psychological state.
