Minor traumatic brain injury is a very difficult condition to diagnose and goes largely undiagnosed because it frequently presents in car accidents or any type of accident that, seemingly, does not involve severe impacts.

Even if the impact was seemingly slight, as long as the impact was jarring enough you may be suffering from minor traumatic brain injury.  An impact involving whiplash or a jerking of the neck or a head impacting with a windshield or other part of the car or object puts one at risk.  As such, if you have experienced this you should see a neurologist right away.

The warnings signs or symptoms of minor traumatic brain injury include but are not limited to difficulty concentrating, short term memory loss, mood swings, difficulty sleeping, and headaches.  If a neurologist determines you may be suffering from minor traumatic brain injury he will refer you to a neuro-psychologist for cognitive testing.  They are instrumental in paving the way to the road to recovery for a victim suffering from minor traumatic brain injury.

If you were hurt in any type of accident you may be suffering from minor traumatic brain injury.  Choosing a lawyer experienced in minor traumatic brain injury cases is vital.  Call the New York Brain Injury Lawyers today for a free, confidential consultation at 1(800)WE-FIGHT.

Traumatic brain injury can be caused by many types of accidents.  Unlike minor traumatic brain injury, traumatic brain injury lends itself to accidents involving severe impacts.  Common effects of traumatic brain injury include coma, neurological deficits, brain damage, and death.

You usually see traumatic brain injury in accidents involving trucks or motorcycles or construction accident cases.  This list is not exclusive, obviously, and it should be noted that traumatic brain injury can also happen in seemingly less serious accidents.

Navigating through the complex medical records and reports meticulously when reviewing whether a person has sustained a traumatic brain injury is critical to success in the courtroom.
