Waukegan Lawyers Helping Victims of Closed Head and Traumatic Brain Injuries
In many accidents, injuries sustained by those involved are immediately obvious - cuts and bruises, fractures, open head injuries, or amputations. A closed head injury or traumatic brain injury is different, though. These tend to manifest over time and can result in permanent brain damage. A victim may walk away from an accident feeling okay, only to have a myriad of symptoms arise days, weeks, or even months later.

A majority of traumatic brain injuries result from car or truck accidents, but they are not always the product of such strong impact. A TBI can occur due to something as seemingly simple as a slipping and falling on a wet floor or icy sidewalk.
Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury are varied in each person, but can include:
- Memory loss
- Difficulty concentrating
- Loss of coordination
- Dizziness
- Changes in personality
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headaches or blurry vision
- Fatigue or irritability
- Abnormal speech
