When diagnosing a traumatic brain injury (TBI), doctors typically categorize it as mild, moderate or severe. While a mild TBI may not sound that bad, it can lead to permanent disability, requiring a lifetime of medical care and unemployment. The symptoms of a mild brain injury are not always apparent right after the incident and can take days or months to surface.
If you or a loved one has recently been in an accident where there was trauma to the head or neck, it is important to immediately seek medical care. Then, call the Asheville brain injury attorneys of Melrose, Seago & Lay, P.A., at 828-477-4219 or 800-673-1835 for a free consultation. We will review your case and let you know if you can expect to obtain restitution.
A Mild Brain Injury Is a Serious Matter
Virtually any type of accident can result in a brain injury, from a car accident to medical negligence. Some symptoms of a TBI include:
- Memory loss
- Mood swings
- Personality change
- Slurred speech
- Blurry vision
- Loss of hand dexterity
Unfortunately, brain injuries and concussions are often misdiagnosed by doctors after an accident. Our lawyers work with TBI experts such as neuropsychologists to properly diagnose brain injuries. Using illustrations and animations, these expert witnesses will demonstrate to a judge or jury just how serious even a mild TBI can be.
