Call Dansker & Aspromonte Associates today at (212) 732-2929 for details of how we may be able to help you recover the fair and just financial compensation you deserve for all of your losses.
Brain Injuries May Have a Lasting Impact
The Mayo Clinic details the symptoms that may result from a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Symptoms that the Mayo Clinic categorizes as “mild” include:
- Headaches
- Changes in your speech patterns
- Changes in your sleeping patterns
- Vomiting
- Changes in your balance or coordination
- A sense of confusion
- Changes in your vision
- Light and sound sensitivity
- Changes in your mood, including the onset of anxiety or depression
You should seek medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms, as they may be among the mildest symptoms of a TBI but may not be harmless. Any possible brain injury should be taken seriously. In more serious cases, you may experience:
- Exaggerated symptoms of those listed above
- The presence of fluids draining from your ears or nose
- Seizures
- Losing feeling in your extremities
- Pupil dilation
- Complete loss of consciousness for a prolonged period of time
- Memory or other cognitive deficits
A brain injury could cause permanent brain damage, and it is possible that leaving a brain injury untreated could increase the risk that you will suffer lasting health consequences. In the most extreme cases, a brain injury can cause death. Even in cases of mild or no symptoms, it is imperative that you receive immediate medical attention.

Don’t delay, however, since there are deadlines that limit your rights to bring a claim and receive compensation.
