Symptoms of Brain Injuries

Washington State Lawyers Handling cases involving Brain Damage

Brain injuries are complex. While there is some understanding of the impact of trauma to different areas of the brain, every brain injury is unique and can affect individuals differently. At Keith S. Douglass & Associates, LLP in Spokane, Washington, we have significant experience helping brain injury victims assess the impact of their injuries and maximize the compensation they receive.

Symptoms of Brain Injuries and Brain Damage

In some cases, the symptoms of traumatic brain injuries are obvious: coma, impaired mobility, and vegetative states. In others, the symptoms are less obvious, and can go undiagnosed as medical professionals treat more obvious injuries.

Since many health care professionals, community service workers, and the public are unaware of the symptoms and impact of mild and traumatic brain injures, they often go undiagnosed and untreated. Some of the common symptoms of brain injuries can include:

• Ringing in the ears or changes in ability to hear
• Headaches and dizziness
• Sensitivity to light
• Sensitivity to sound
• Issues related to balance
• Sensory changes, such as changes in taste or smell
• Trouble with numbers, including counting money
• Lack of concentration
• Inappropriate emotional responses
• Memory problems, poor judgment, poor attention span, a slowed thought process, memory loss
• Diminished performance at work

Our attorneys have significant experience helping victims of brain injuries understand the consequences of damage to the brain. We regularly work with neuropsychologists, life care planners, and functional capability evaluators to understand how mild and traumatic brain injuries have impacted our clients. Then we work aggressively to ensure they receive optimal compensation for their injuries.
