Even mild brain injuries can have a big impact on your finances as you rack up expensive medical bills—especially if returning to work full time isn’t always possible. Symptoms after suffering a mild traumatic brain injury in an accident can include:
- Anxiety and depression
- Changes to thought processes, such as delays in thinking or difficulty comprehending concepts
- Difficulty concentrating
- Dizziness and nausea
- Emotional issues like irritability, mood swings, and sudden angry outbursts
- Fatigue and difficulty sleeping
- Headaches
- Memory loss
- PTSD
- Ringing in the ears
- Sensory issues like loss of smell or sensitivity to light and sound
- Vision problems
Even these supposedly “mild” symptoms may prevent you from completing your normal work duties, stop you from driving, or otherwise interfere with your daily routine and cause a financial loss. You have a legal right to recover damages for those losses if your injury was caused by negligence, whether in a car accident, a slip and fall, or other incidents.
