Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury
Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Symptoms are often delayed, making a traumatic brain injury or even a mild concussion more difficult to diagnose. You may not experience symptoms of a TBI for a period of time. A concussion, which is caused by a head injury, should be watched, as these symptoms can also take time to come on.
Common symptoms of a brain injury include:
- Physical – Confusion, dizziness, lethargy, loss of balance, nausea, and blurred vision
- Emotional – Irritability, depression, anger, appetite changes, and sleep issues
- Cognitive – Amnesia, short-term memory loss, and loss of concentration
Common Causes of TBIs
- Slip, trip and fall accidents
- Sports injuries
- Violence caused by an attack
- Accidentes automovilísticos
- Accidentes de motocicleta
- Tractor-trailer accidents
- Bus accidents
- Accidentes de peatones

Hypoxic & Traumatic Brain Injuries
Compensable personal injury claims involve injuries resulting from the negligent actions of another. Actions can be unintentional or deliberate but must cause the victim some type of injury that inflicts physical or mental suffering requiring short- or long-term medical attention.
What are hypoxic brain injuries? Cerebral hypoxia means the brain has been deprived of oxygen for a certain period of time. Unless the brain has access to oxygen at all times, neurons (brain cells) and other areas of the brain suffer severe damage. Consequences of a hypoxic brain injury include mild cognitive and/or physical impairment to partial or total debilitation of both the brain and body.
Lesiones cerebrales traumáticas (LCT)
TBIs are typically caused by powerful blows to the head, forcing the brain to forcefully hit the sides of the skull. Explosions or penetration of the skull by objects can irreparably damage neurons and blood vessels needed to provide the brain with oxygen and nutrients. Bleeding around or within the brain, blood clots, and swelling of certain areas of the brain may restrict the oxygen supply to the brain.
Hypoxic or traumatic brain injuries may result in the patients suffering long-term deficiencies in memory, attention, and cognitive communication skills.
