According to Mayo Clinic, headache, dizziness and sleep problems are the three most common symptoms after a brain injury.
Headaches
Post-concussion headaches can vary from person to person. and may feel like tension-type headaches or migraines. Most often, they are tension-type headaches.
Headaches can be associated with a neck injury occurring at the same time as the head injury.
Typically, in a traumatic brain injury (TBI) lawsuit in IL, the defense attorney reprinting the defendant’s auto insurance company will try to argue that the plaintiff’s headaches are nothing new. The attorney for at-fault driver’s insurance company may ask to depose the plaintiff’s ex-husband or her coworker to discover if she reported headaches to them in the past. This is one of many reasons why hiring a TBI attorney familiar with defense tactics is crucial.
Confusion & Amnesia
Mayo Clinic recommends you see a doctor if you experience a head injury severe enough to cause confusion or amnesia — even if you never lost consciousness.
