Brain injuries can present a variety of severe complications, especially if the brain injury is considered traumatic.  Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are usually sustained during motor vehicle accidents, work related accidents, and falls.  Traumatic brain injuries occur suddenly and are caused by violent jolts or an impact to the head.  Symptoms of brain injuries can vary from mild to severe. 

Symptoms of a mild brain injury may include dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, fatigue, poor concentration, and memory loss.  During a traumatic brain injury, symptoms tend to be catastrophic and debilitating.  Common traumatic brain injury symptoms include continual headaches, on going migraines, vomiting, convulsions, seizures, slurred speech, lost coordination, immobility, and permanent paralysis.  Unlike mild brain injuries, severe brain injuries take time to treat and diagnose as symptoms may not be revealed immediately.  

If a person sustains a brain injury due to another persons negligence, they may be entitled to compensation.  Failure to use a reasonable amount of care and precaution is considered negligence.  Personal injury law protects brain injury victims by allowing them to seek monetary compensation from negligent parties to cover things such as their medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.
