Head Injury Lawyers in Waco Temple Killeen Texas

A common injury is a concussion caused by a blow to the head. With a concussion (also called a traumatic brain injury), your brain bounces around inside your skull. This causes chemical changes in your brain. Every year, up to 1.4 million people in the U.S. suffer a brain injury, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. You or a family member might have a brain injury caused by anything from car accidents to sports activities. If you or a loved one has been in an accident and suffered a head injury — such as a severe concussion or brain damage –you may be entitled to compensation under the law. Seeing stars after a hard bump to your head is common. But more severe symptoms can be cause for concern. If you abruptly feel less coordinated, are having trouble remembering easy things or thinking clearly, or if friends say you’re not acting quite the same, you should see a physician. You may have a traumatic brain injury or brain damage caused by trauma. The effects of a traumatic brain injury differ depending on how severe your injury is: Mild brain injury can produce a temporary loss of consciousness, dizziness, vomiting, sensitivity to light, mood changes, headaches, or fatigue. Moderate brain injury causes many of the same symptoms, but they’re often more severe. You might also experience extreme confusion or anxiety, slurred speech, a lack of coordination, numbness in your fingers, and dilated pupils. In some cases, clear fluid may drain from your nose or ears. Severe brain injury typically results from a severe blow to the head or body and requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms are similar to those caused by a moderate brain injury, but you may also have bleeding, bruising, or torn brain tissues, which can lead to death. Treatment: See a health care professional. The primary treatment for a mild concussion is rest. Doctors recommend that you cut back on physical activities and activities that require a lot of concentration. If more severe concussion symptoms are present, you may need to go to the hospital. You may have bleeding under the skull (subdural hematoma). Bleeding in the skull is a medical emergency.  Recovery: For mild concussions, many people notice symptoms decrease in two to three weeks. The recovery from a subdural hematoma is more complicated and depends on the severity of the injury.
