- Loss of coordination
- Dizziness
- Changes in personality
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headaches or blurry vision
- Fatigue or irritability
- Abnormal speech
Anyone involved in a serious accident should seek medical evaluation promptly, even when they feel okay at the scene.

Securing the Financial Compensation You Need
Traumatic brain injuries frequently require ongoing care, and the costs add up quickly. If your injury resulted from another party's negligence, you have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care. If the injury occurred at a job site, a workers' compensation claim may also be available alongside a personal injury case.
Illinois gives injured victims two years from the date of injury to file a claim.
