Personal injury lawyers can represent people who have suffered from brain injuries. Here are some questions and answers that may help you if you are in need of a personal injury lawyer because of a brain injury:

What is a traumatic brain injury? This is the impairment of normal brain function that occurs in an open or closed head injury.

What are the general symptoms of a brain injury? The symptoms can vary quite a bit because of the many functions of the brain. There are however four general categories of symptoms and your personal injury lawyer can explain each one to you.

What are the perceptual symptoms of a brain injury? You may experience changes in hearing, vision or sense of touch as well as having a loss of the sense of space and time. Other symptoms include loss of balance, changes in taste and smell or increased sensitivity to pain.

What are the behavioral/emotional symptoms of a brain injury? Apathy, flattened or heightened emotional responses and irritability may occur as well as inflexibility, impatience or lack of inhibition. Discuss these symptoms with your personal injury lawyer.

What are the cognitive symptoms that can indicate a brain injury? The cognitive functioning of the brain may be impaired in one or more of these ways: inability to understand abstract concepts, language deficits, shortened attention span or memory loss. Personal injury lawyers will be able to discuss these cognitive symptoms and others.

What are the physical symptoms of a brain injury? A few include seizure activity, paralysis, headaches, sleep disorders and extreme physical or mental fatigue.
