TBI Signs
Traumatic brain injuries occur when impacts or violent movements jar the brain. Extreme incidents, such as trucking accidents, can cause the brain to crash against the inside of the skull, resulting in bruising, tearing of brain tissue, and bleeding within the brain. This bleeding can increase pressure in the skull, leading to further brain damage.
Because the brain is highly complex and governs much of our personality and physical health, brain injuries can have wide-ranging symptoms—particularly in cases involving severe trauma.
If someone you care about is experiencing any of these symptoms after a collision with a large truck or bus, it is important to contact an experienced trucking accident attorney as soon as possible. They can begin investigating your case promptly. Even if doctors have performed tests but found no brain damage so far, your loved one may still be suffering from a serious brain injury.
