Utah Brain Injury Attorneys
More then 1.5 million people suffer traumatic brain injuries every year. 50,000 of those people will die from their brain injury while another 80,000 will have long-term disabilities as a result of their brain trauma. The brain is one of the most important and fragile organs in the human body. Auto and motorcycle accidents are far and away the most common cause of brain injuries, but slip and fall accidents, sports injuries, physical assault and industrial or occupational accidents can also cause brain injuries.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) can cause serious medical disorders like skull fractures, repeated seizures, amnesia, brain hemorrhage, and subdural hematomas. Less severe brain injuries can have less obvious symptoms that could come and go as time passes. The symptoms themselves, however, can still be crippling in their effects, especially when more then one occurs. These symptoms can include, but are not limited to:
- Loss of memory
- Dizziness/ balance difficulties
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Alteration of the sense of taste and/or smell
- Impaired judgment
- Blurred vision
- Reduced attention and concentration
- Difficulty making decisions
- Depression
- Personality changes
