Vancouver BC Personal Injury Lawyers - Stephens and Holman

 TBI is an abbreviation for traumatic brain injury, a severe head injury that can cause life-altering physical and mental impairments.

TBIs are caused by a jarring impact that results in the brain slamming into the interior of the skull. TBIs are often sustained in accidents including:

•    Automobile accidents
•    Motorcycle accidents
•    Truck accidents
•    Bicycle accidents
•    Pedestrian accidents
•    Slip-and-fall accidents

Traumatic brain injuries may be accompanied by a number of wide-ranging symptoms. Some of these symptoms may not be apparent immediately following the impact that caused the injury, but most TBI victims will suffer from multiple symptoms that may include:

•    Behavior or personality changes
•    Difficult with Concentration
•    Memory Problems
•    Blurred vision or double vision
•    Dizziness
•    Blood or clear fluid seeping from the nose or ears
•    Loss of motor function
•    Pupils that do not react to light or are different in size
•    Respiratory problems
•    Nausea or vomiting
•    Seizures
•    Tingling or numbness in the extremities
