Torrance Brain Injury Lawyer

The emotional and financial consequences of a traumatic brain injury can leave lasting havoc to the victim as well as the whole family. It is not unusual for recovery to take a lifetime. Injuries to the brain can cause a wide variety of debilitating symptoms, such as coma, paralysis, seizures, personality changes, hearing and vision loss, loss of taste or smell, and cognitive deficits.

Symptoms Of A Brain Injury

The affects of many brain injuries appear immediately, but oftentimes the symptoms do not appear until later when the injury manifests into a worsened condition. The brain is the center of many functions for the body, making brain injuries that much more devastating.

Symptoms of a brain injury can include:

• Lost consciousness lasting seconds or even minutes
• No loss of consciousness, but a state of being dazed, confused or disoriented
• Migraines or headaches
• Nausea or vomiting
• Fatigue or drowsiness
• Difficulty sleeping
• Sleeping more than usual
• Dizziness and/or loss of balance

Sensory Symptoms

• Sensitivity to light or sound
• Blurry Vision
• Ringing in the ears
• Bad taste in the mouth
• Changes in the ability to smell

Cognitive or Mental Symptoms

• Memory or concentration problems
• Mood changes or mood swings
• Feeling depressed or anxious

Personal Injury Claims In Torrance, California

California law allows up to 2 years to file civil claims against a negligent party. This means that if your brain injury worsens at a later date, you may still be able to file a legal claim and collect damages. This statute of limitations begins at the time of awareness of the injury, so it is important to obtain a medical evaluation as soon as possible following an accident or injury.
