Traumatic Head Injury Cases Need the Skills of an Experienced Houston
Brain Injury Lawyer
Houston brain injury lawyer Jim Walker knows a brain injury is the most catastrophic of all injuries and the most difficult to diagnose. Many technical skills by both the physician and head injury attorney are called into play in brain injury and brain stem injury claims.
Traumatic brain injury is an insult to the brain, not of a degenerative or congenital nature but caused by an external physical force, that may produce a diminished or altered state of consciousness, which results in an impairment of cognitive abilities or physical functioning. It can also result in the disturbance of behavioral or emotional functioning. These impairments may be either temporary or permanent and cause partial or total functional disability or psychosocial maladjustment.
Symptoms of an open or closed head injury with a traumatic brain injury include, but are not limited to:
- Spinal fluid (thin water-looking liquid) coming out of the ears or nose
- Loss of consciousness; however, loss of consciousness may not occur in some concussion cases
- Dilated or unequal pupils
- Loss of eye movement
- Respiratory failure
- Semicomatose state
- Coma
- Impaired muscle tone and muscle movements
- One sided paralysis
- Slow pulse
- Slow respiration rate, with an increase in blood pressure
- Vomiting
- Lethargy
- Headache
- Confusion
- Inefficient thinking/ impaired cognition
- Inappropriate emotional response
