Don’t let a head or brain injury destroy your life

A minor concussion followed by a headache and a little fatigue might not seem significant at first. But when that headache continues to nag you day after day and that one "sleepy day" turns into a month, these might be signs that you are suffering from a serious head injury.

If an accident has left you with ongoing cognitive health issues, you might be confused as to what your next step should be. You might have a lot of unanswered questions.

How will you pay for all those unexpected doctor bills and therapy sessions that have suddenly become necessary? Can you continue working, and if not, how will you support yourself and your family?

What are the symptoms?
Because of the brain's central role in our physical bodies, few injuries affect a person quite so completely as a head injury or brain injury. No two injuries are exactly alike, which can make it difficult to pinpoint the problem. Head injury symptoms vary from person to person. Common symptoms of a traumatic brain injury include, but are not limited to:

• - Headaches
• - Dizziness
• - Severe concussion
• - Chronic fatigue
• - Vision problems
• - Ringing ears
• - Difficulty speaking
• - Vomiting
• - Confusion
• - Memory loss
• - Anxiety
• - Depression

How common is it really?
The Brain Injury Association of America estimates that 1.4 million people in the United States suffer a traumatic brain injury every year. The two highest causes of traumatic brain injuries are falls, at 28 percent, followed by motor vehicle accidents, at 20 percent.

A car accident, a playground fall or similar "freak accident" can happen in a split second, but the ongoing cognitive issues of an accident head injury can affect your life for years. An overwhelming 3.17 million Americans currently live with disabilities related to a traumatic brain injury.

Was your injury the result of a car accident or a truck accident? Is a defective product to blame for a nasty fall? Are you battling depression or anxiety following a blow to the head?

If you or a loved one suffers from the repercussions of a severe head injury or severe brain injury related to an accident or product liability, you might be eligible to receive compensation to help pay for medical expenses and other losses.
