The typical symptoms of a brain injury

Brain injuries can be among the most serious of all personal injury, and in the worst case, can have dangerous effects of long-term and even life. To minimize the impact of a traumatic brain injury is very important to get medical help when you suffer an accident that may incur brain injury. There are two main types of traumatic brain injury - which describes the sudden shock jolts or wounds, and traumatic brain injuries, such as oxygen or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Brain injuries can be sustained in many different ways. You may have been in a car accident, or even the victim of an assault. Then again, you may have suffered your injury at work if there was negligence upon the part of the employer not providing you with safety devices such as a hard hat. If you fell from a height of work that was not safe, or slipped on a spillage that had not been cleaned or register posted, then this is a further negligence. In all these circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation for brain damage. 

Here are some symptoms to look out for if you suspect that you have suffered a brain injury. The most common symptoms of TBI are generally those that are the least severe, which may include dizziness, fatigue, headache, fainting, or a bump to the head or pasture that is visible. Minor concussion is likely, and you should lie down and rest for a period of time dizzy, and then immediately consult a doctor.

In some cases, the lesions may be more visible and obvious, for example, there may be bleeding from the nose, mouth or ears, or vomiting. The loss of consciousness is also possible in some cases. Keep in mind that the visible influences of your accident are not necessarily the most serious, is internal bruising and bleeding of the brain that are far more serious, so do not panic if you have visible injuries as this does not necessarily mean that have internal injuries. Do not take aspirin, even if you have a headache as it increases the risk of bleeding. 

Internal injuries of the brain can manifest itself in a slow breathing or blood pressure, confusion or clumsiness, slurred speech and blurred vision. You could possibly also have difficulty in hearing, taste, or smell. You may also experience a stiff neck, or have difficulty in moving. In the worst case, will be unconscious for a longer period of time and may need an ambulance to be called. Those around you should put in the position of rest, and try not to wake you up or clean up any deep cuts. 

Even in fewer severe cases, consult a doctor and make sure someone stays with you for 24 hours keeping an eye out for any worsening of symptoms, such as head injuries can have a limited impact initially, but worsen over time. You are also well advised to refrain from driving or operating heavy machinery during this period in case of concussion sets in...
