One of the most serious injuries that a person can experience is an injury to the brain. Medical professionals, paramedics and even victims overlook brain injuries as the cause for many symptoms. Many brain injuries are not detected for weeks, months or years after an injury or accident because they often do not cause obvious or visible symptoms. If you have suffered from a head or brain injury as the result of another person's negligence or recklessness, please contact a Seattle Washington brain injury attorney at Teller & Associates today.

The following is a short list of common symptoms of brain injury:

• Concussion-If you have a concussion your awareness is altered and you may feel dizzy, nauseous, disoriented, forgetful, irritable, or depressed.
• Focal neurological signs-You exhibit recognizable symptoms that inform your doctor that your brain is not functioning at its maximum level.
• Loss of consciousness-You lose consciousness for any period of time, ranging from a few seconds to slipping into a coma.
• Post-traumatic amnesia-You experience memory loss of events that occurred before and after your accident.
• Seizure-Your nerve cells function improperly, sometimes causing you to lose consciousness, fall and convulse (shake). Other seizures are less obvious, and the person may appear "in a daze" or have other symptoms.
• Unequal or un-reactive pupils-Your pupils do not react normally to light.
• Encephalopathy-This just means your brain is not functioning normally. It can have many symptoms including that you may be puzzled, distracted, or in a stupor.

There are secondary types of brain injuries that are caused by non-neurological structure injuries which include:

• Edema-swelling of the brain that can lead to pressure building up and preventing blood and oxygen from entering the brain.
• Hematoma-accumulation of blood due to tissue injury or tearing of a blood vessel.
• Hydrocephalus-fluid in the brain, which may be acquired or congenital.

The human brain is extremely vulnerable, especially when the head has suffered any type of trauma. If you were hit in the head with an object or if your head strikes an object, you may be suffering from a very serious brain injury. Even if you do not notice any obvious symptoms, you should seek medical attention right away. If your brain injury was caused by the negligence of another person, a Seattle traumatic brain injury lawyer at Teller & Associates may be able to recover for you monetary compensation for your brain injury and accident related costs.
