Although as many as 1.4 million Americans suffer a brain injury each year, many are misdiagnosed or missed altogether.This article, from the Daytona personal injury lawyers of\u00a0Zimmet & Zimmet, presents an overview of brain injury information and what to do if you or a loved one has been in an accident resulting in brain injury.Head or brain injuries refer to some kind of physical trauma to the head or\u00a0brain that causes a disruption to the brain\u2019s normal functioning. Brain injuries can range from mild to severe and be caused by only minor accidents. Unseen brain injuries are usually classified into two categories:\u201cClosed\u201d head injuries.\u00a0Some brain injuries, like those caused by a sharp object penetrating the skull, are obvious. But \u201cclosed\u201d head injuries are more difficult to notice, but damage can still be significant. Concussions are a common type of closed head injury. A concussion is a violent shaking or jarring of the brain and can result in permanent brain damage.Acquired brain injury.\u00a0This is a type of brain damage that is not the result of external physical trauma but has an internal cause and occurs when brain cells are deprived of oxygen. Common causes of acquired brain injuries include near-drowning or suffocation, exposure to toxic substances, and medication misuse.The symptoms of brain injury vary based on the type and severity of the damage. Some of the common symptoms of\u00a0traumatic brain injury (caused by external trauma to the head) include:Persistent headachesInability to concentrateMemory lossDizzinessFatigue or listlessnessChanges in mood, behavior, or cognitive function (e.g.: difficulty reading, thinking, speaking)NauseaBlurred visionSymptoms can sometimes take a while to appear and so can be difficult to recognize and are commonly misdiagnosed or missed. This delay is common, so being vigilant is important after head trauma.If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury after an accident, seek proper medical treatment and advice.
