TEXAS. If you have suffered a brain injury of any type, it is important to seek medical care and to take symptoms and your doctor’s orders seriously. Brain injuries range in severity and types. Depending on the nature of your brain injury, you may need long-term care, rehabilitation, or other support. What are the different types of brain injuries?

According to WebMD, the least serious type of brain injury is a concussion. However, any type of brain injury can have serious repercussions on your health, even a mild traumatic brain injury. Individuals might experience confusion, memory loss, nausea, headaches, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, ringing in the ears, mood changes, difficulties concentrating, and even sleep problems. There are different types of concussions, which are categorized based on how long a victim has lost consciousness. If you lose any consciousness at all during an accident, it is important to seek medical care right away. Concussions that lead to bleeding in the brain can lead to death or serious brain injury if they are not properly treated.

According to the Shepherd Center, traumatic brain injury is broken down by levels of severity. In mild traumatic brain injury, victims may suffer symptoms similar to those who suffer from a concussion. In fact, a concussion may be a mild traumatic brain injury. Moderate traumatic brain injury can result in sensitivity to light, strong headaches, memory loss, balance problems, depression, seizures, nausea, or confusion. Speech may also be impacted. Severe traumatic brain injury can include the symptoms for moderate traumatic brain injury, but in addition, may include major impairments, like inability to move, problems swallowing or speaking, major communication difficulties, and other serious impairments. The more serious your brain injury, the greater levels of care you may need and the costlier your care is likely to be.

The leading causes of traumatic brain injury are falls and car accidents. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury as a result of a car accident or fall, you may be facing weeks to months of rehabilitation which can be incredibly costly. You may be entitled to seek damages from negligent parties to cover your losses and medical care. Furthermore, you may be entitled to seek compensation to cover lost wages and pain and suffering for these serious and often life-altering injuries. Car insurance or truck insurance companies may be required to compensate you for your losses if you are covered.
