Recognizing the Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury

While a skull fracture resulting in a traumatic brain injury is usually apparent immediately following a car accident or other accident, the symptoms of a closed head injury or concussion are far less obvious. Many people overlook symptoms of a closed head injury and take weeks or even months before the injury is diagnosed and treated. This is precious time lost that could have been used in treating and minimizing the effects of the injury. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately following a motorcycle accident or other crash. Symptoms of head trauma (mild, moderate or traumatic brain injury) can include:

• Mood swings
• Sleeplessness or insomnia
• Memory loss
• Loss of appetite or nausea
• Headache
• Cognitive problems (slurred speech, slowed thinking, reduced mobility)
• Balance problems
• Many other symptoms

Steve Seidman and his associates have more than 40 years of combined practice experience. Our firm has obtained substantial settlements and verdicts, including million-dollar settlements for our clients. In every case, our injury attorneys work hard to get maximum compensation by thoroughly preparing the case for trial.

We work with medical specialists, life care planners, economists and other experts to help determine the extent of the injury, the impact on the individual's life (and on the family) and the economic value of the lawsuit.

We Can Help You Recover

It is important to remember that a traumatic brain injury can still result, even when the skull does not appear to be damaged. Therefore, if you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident or other severe accident, seek medical attention right away. Then, contact our personal injury attorneys to discuss your case. We offer free initial consultations, are available evenings and weekends and can come to you when you can't make it to our Chicago, Illinois, law office.
