The subjects of concussions and other types of brain injury have been in the news recently as the National Football League has settled a case involving former players and the long term effects of these injuries received on the job. While large cases such as the one with the NFL are uncommon, The Szantho Law Firm recommends that people educate themselves about both the signs and side-effects of injuries to the brain. Winter sports, slipping on ice and car accidents can all result in a brain injury, and spotting symptoms early and getting treatment can lead to a greater likelihood of recovery.“This recent case has brought the issue of concussions and other brain injuries into the spotlight,” says Andras Szantho, founder of The Szantho Law Firm. “However, these types of injuries can have lifelong impacts. There are multiple scenarios that could result in a brain injury and early recognition combined with treatment can have long-term benefits.”
A brain injury can occur in a number of ways, but the most common are a blow or other forceful injury to the head or body. The sources of such impacts are numerous, but car accidents, falls and sports injuries are among some of the more frequent causes.
Recognizing the signs of a brain injury is critical to ensuring that the injured party receives the proper medical attention. More common symptoms include: unconsciousness, confusion, amnesia, headaches, nausea, dizziness or fatigue. It is also important to know that some symptoms might not present immediately. If one suspects that another person has suffered an injury in their brain they will need to be vigilant to any signals for some time.
“Knowing the signs of a brain injury and ensuring that somebody receives proper treatment can have a dramatic impact,” concludes Szantho. “Ultimately, a proper plan for dealing with the injury can make a huge difference in how it affects the rest of the person's life.”
