Tustin Brain Injury Lawyer

If you or someone you love has suffered a traumatic brain injury, you understand the devastating emotional and financial aftermath it can have on the entire family. Typically, recovery 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 debilitating 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

Some brain injuries are manifest at the point of impact, but in many cases, the symptoms do not appear until later when the injury reveals a worsened condition. The brain is the catalyst for many bodily functions, making brain injuries quite devastating.

Symptoms of a brain injury can include:

Physical Symptoms

• Loss of consciousness for a few seconds to a few minutes
• No loss of consciousness, but a state of being confused, dazed or disoriented
• Headache
• Nausea or vomiting
• Fatigue or drowsiness
• Difficulty sleeping
• Sleeping more than usual
• Dizziness or loss of balance

Sensory Symptoms

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

Cognitive or Mental Symptoms

• Memory or concentration problems
• Moodiness or mood swings
• Feeling depressed or anxious

Personal Injury Claims In Tustin, California

Since many brain injuries can take months or even years to fully appear, California has established a standard time limit of 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 have the opportunity to file a legal claim and collect damages. This statute limitation time period 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.
