Huntington Beach Brain Injury Lawyer

A traumatic brain injury is a nerve-racking experience for all involved. These agonizing injuries often lead to devastating emotional and financial burdens on the entire family. Recovery often takes a lifetime not only for the injured person, but for their loved ones as well. Injuries to the brain can cause a wide variety of life-altering symptoms, such as seizures, paralysis, coma, personality changes, hearing loss, vision loss, loss of taste, loss of smell, and cognitive or learning deficits.

Symptoms Of A Brain Injury

Many brain injuries manifest visible symptoms right away, but many symptoms do not appear until later when the injury manifests into a worsened condition. The brain is the catalyst for many functions for the body, making brain injuries that much more devastating.

• No loss of consciousness, but a state of being dazed, confused or disoriented

• Fatigue or drowsiness
• Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
• Sleeping more than usual
• Loss of balance due to dizziness

Sensory Symptoms

Cognitive or Mental Symptoms
