A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can devastate an entire family. A person suffering from a brain injury can undergo complete changes in personality or function. The injury can affect everything in the person’s life.
Brain injuries raise difficult and complicated issues. We often see claims involving brain injuries from car crashes, falls, workplace accidents, toxic exposures and other events. Few attorneys understand the issues, medical tests, and impacts of brain injuries. We have helped many clients suffering these personal injuries. Our tenacious attorneys approach our cases with careful study of the issues and the science related to brain injuries. Additionally, a Huntsville traumatic brain injury lawyer could engage specialists who can thoroughly evaluate our clients and discuss their injuries.

Common TBI Symptoms
At the Blackwell Law Firm, we emphasize family involvement in helping individuals suffering from traumatic brain injury. The reason is simple – family members are often in the best position to notice symptoms and help in the treatment process.
Many people suffering mild traumatic brain injury from an accident or trauma look fine. Yet, looks can be deceiving. That is why family members should note symptoms and personality changes. As part of our work, we routinely interview family members concerning observed changes. Some immediate or apparent symptoms of traumatic brain injury include:
- Unconsciousness
- Dizziness / Vertigo
- Nausea
- Headache
- Vision Changes
Other symptoms and changes are less obvious. Sometimes, these changes become more evident to family and friends over time. They can include:
- Difficulty concentrating or focusing
- Problems remembering new information
- Confusion
- Mood or personality changes
- Sleeping more or less than usual
- Acting irritable or grumpy
- Exhibiting nervousness or anxiety
- Displaying sensitivity to light or loud noise
- Feeling sadness
- Acting emotional
- Difficulty communicating or choosing words
- Difficulty performing everyday tasks
If you have a loved one suffering symptoms following a personal injury or workplace accident in Huntsville, they may not even be aware of their brain injury. Many times the victim does not understand the injury or problems. You should note symptoms and discuss them with medical specialists. A skilled attorney could help inform injured people and family members about common TBI symptoms.
