Symptoms of Brain Injuries
One of the most devastating types of injuries one can suffer is a traumatic brain injury, which can permanently disable any or all function of the brain. Every patient is different, and there may be drastic differences in symptoms from one brain injury patient to the next. Depending on the type of brain injury and the severity, symptoms may be minor (headache) to catastrophic (paralysis) or fatal. The symptoms of a moderate to severe brain injury can include:

Focal Brain Injury Symptoms
With focal brain injuries, one or several specific areas of the brain are damaged. Symptoms will vary, depending on the severity of an injury and the area of the brain that is damaged (i.e., the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe, the temporal lobes, or the cerebellum). For example, someone who suffers a brain injury with damage to the parietal lobe, may have problems reading. Someone with damage to the occipital lobe may have vision problems or hallucinations.
Brain Injury Symptoms in Children
Infants and young children with brain injuries may not be able to communicate their symptoms, such as pain, confusion, and sensory problems. Medical treatment should be sought immediately after a suspected head trauma or brain injury. Immediate care may prevent brain swelling and additional brain damage.
Brain Injury Attorney
Brain injury victims and their families may be entitled to recover compensation from the parties at fault for their injury. Damages can include money for medical expenses, lost wages as a result of an injury, and general pain and suffering. Because brain injuries are so severe, compensation may be substantial.
