Did You Suffer a "Mild" Head Injury in an Accident? Contact a Lawyer at Jacobs & Jacobs
So your head was injured and now everyone thinks you "seem fine." Perhaps you fell on ice and snow, hit your head on the windshield in a car accident, were injured while playing football or were struck by falling debris at your place of work or in a big-box discount store. You sought and received medical care at the time of the accident, and have followed your doctor's orders. Perhaps you were told that you had suffered a concussion or a contusion, and that with time, you would heal and improve.
Any party responsible for your injury and their insurer may be eager for you to declare yourself healed, sign a document accepting some small amount of compensation, and perhaps return to work.
Even though you may seem better from the outside, you and your family realize that life is not the same as before the accident.
Do any of these sound familiar as you attempt to carry on and return to life as usual after a "mild" head injury?
- Short-term memory loss
- Irritability
- Difficulty expressing your thoughts coherently sometimes
- Difficulty "multi-tasking"
- Intolerance of busy, noisy environments
- Ongoing discomfort
- Mood swings
- Personality change
- Inability to concentrate
- Inability to return to your usual work duties
