There are many ways a San Francisco brain injury lawyer can determine and present moderate casesw of traumatic brain injuries. One of the strongest suits of the GCS is that persons working in the field, where sophisticated diagnostic tools may not be available, can easily use it. Many patients that suffer a trauma are calm at first, only to become agitated or distraught later on. In some cases, these patients may need sedation, although this will lower their GCS. GCS is often used in combination with other diagnostic methods. Useful to a San Francisco brain injury lawyer is that one study indicated that close to 28% of all people who suffer a TBI that are seen in a hospital emergency room that are diagnosed with having a “moderate” traumatic brain injury end up making a “good recovery” as defined by the Glasgow Outcome Scale. The most persistent symptoms that continued however, where changes to sleeping habits, fatigue, poor judgment skills, difficulty concentrating or multitasking, changes to vocabulary abilities, thought processing difficulties, and trouble living a continued independent life. The majority of persons who have suffered a moderate TBI will find it very difficult to resume a standard of living similar to what they had before.
