Medical Malpractice Insights From Menzer Law Group

After suffering from a blow to the head, it is entirely possible to deal with a brain injury in the aftermath. Depending on the strength and severity of the blow itself, the injury can manifest in traumatic ways.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can impact the human body in numerous different ways. It can also manifest differently, so it is important to keep an eye out after suffering from head damage.

First signs of a TBI

Medline Plus discusses the way traumatic brain injuries manifest. They can look different for each individual depending on numerous factors, such as the age of the victim, their overall health, the location of the injury, the amount of force behind the injury and others.

Generally, a victim of a TBI will first show signs of disorientation. Some may experience momentary memory loss, such as forgetting why they were at the scene of an accident or even forgetting the people they were with at the time it happened. This usually reverses within hours, though some instances last longer.

Levels of unconsciousness and pain

Some victims may also suffer from bouts of unconsciousness. Others might slip immediately into a comatose or unconscious state that they do not wake up from easily. Of course, this makes identifying that something is wrong that much easier.

Most victims will suffer from head pain of some sort, from moderate to crippling. Others may also experience nerve pain or other nerve-related issues in addition, like troubles with fine motor skills.

Whatever degree of head injury a victim experiences, it is important to get immediate medical care. This is the only way to help mitigate the chance of permanent damage from happening.
