Traumatic brain injury is the result of sudden trauma to the head and is caused by either violent contact between the head and an object, or the head being pierced by a sharp object that enters into the brain tissue. At Gonzales and Gonzales, our dedicated Austin personal injury lawyers are a husband and wife team who care deeply about our clients and their families.

Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury

The symptoms associated with a traumatic brain injury may vary widely depending on the individual victim and their circumstances. They can range from mild to moderate to severe depending on which parts of the brain were injured. Common symptoms include:

• Temporary loss of consciousness
• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Blurred vision
• Confusion
• Mood changes
• Altered sleep patterns
• Difficulty concentrating
• Difficulty holding attention
• Headache
• Difficulty with memory
• Lightheadedness
• Disruption in thought processes
• Lethargy

Moderate to severe brain trauma may also cause agitation, loss of coordination, convulsions, nausea/vomiting, pupil dilation, increased confusion, restlessness, seizures, weakness in extremities, numbness in extremities and slurred speech.

The Aftermath of a Traumatic Brain Injury

Suffering from a traumatic brain injury may involve an extremely long recovery period that may include coping with permanent disabilities. This requires a lot of emotional trials and changes in lifestyle to accommodate the injured person.

In the aftermath of such a devastating injury, the victim and the family not only suffer through the pain and heartache of the injuries, but they also wonder what the future holds. Massive and mounting medical bills and how to make ends meet are also a huge burden.

At Gonzales and Gonzales, we want our clients and their families to focus on their recovery, not on all of the other details that require attention. For this reason, until we have earned you a fair settlement, we will work with you on a contingency basis. This means that we don't get paid until we earn justice and compensation for your injuries.

While your case is in progress, we will help you pay your medical bills, obtain a rental car in the case of a car accident in Austin, Texas and come to you if you are unable to meet with us at our office. Please contact the Austin personal injury attorneys who care about their clients. Let our family help your family when you need us most.
