Mike represented a resident who was struck from behind while riding her bicycle home from UW Hospital.

Knowledgeable Representation That Can Help You Recover From Your Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury that results from sudden trauma to the head that disrupts the normal functioning of your brain. Oftentimes, TBI victims do not exhibit physical symptoms but have noticeable changes in behavior. TBI can be caused by a number of incidents, including:

• Auto accidents
• Construction site accidents
• Sporting accidents
• Mistakes by medical personnel
• Birth injury
• Falling objects

Because TBI is difficult to detect, it is important that you consult a physician after being involved in an accident that results in a blow to the head even if you feel otherwise healthy. In the months that follow an accident, you should look for the following symptoms of TBI:

• Recurring headaches and/or neck pain
• Nausea/vomiting
• Difficulty concentrating
• Dizziness or loss of balance
• Slowed reflexes
• Fatigue or lethargy
• Loss of coordination

If you or one of your loved ones are exhibiting any symptoms of TBI, you should immediately seek medical help.
