A Brain Injury Affects Your Entire Family. Call Us
When people think of a brain injury, they often think of a victim left lying in a coma or vegetative state. Brain injuries are among the most misdiagnosed injuries following an accident. A brain injury can result from any blunt blow to the head, initially causing little more than a headache. Neurosurgeons often say that a brain injury is the first injury to occur during an accident, but the last to show symptoms. It often takes weeks or months before memory loss and other post-concussion disorders become evident.
