Diagnosis Is Difficult.
In general, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are difficult to diagnose because they vary in their symptoms and effects. Subtle injuries are called “mild” but have devastating affects. Many victims with brain injuries just do not receive the treatment they need. In other cases, diagnosis and treatment comes too late. We have worked with TBI victims and work hard to get them the quality medical care they deserve, and compensation for what cannot be fixed or helped.
TBIs result of some type of trauma to the head, a blow, a deceleration or lack of oxygen. You are familiar with concussions, the most common of brain injuries. While we normally think of sports players when we hear the word concussion, head trauma can also occur if someone trips and falls on a sidewalk or is injured in a car accident. Therefore, properly diagnosing these types of injuries is crucial.
Symptoms Slowly Emerge
Determining when a TBI has occurred is one of the biggest problems. A victim may develop symptoms, such as loss of memory, and their personality may change, including bouts of anxiety and depression, but once these symptoms present, treatments may not be as effective and medical records get confused and are used against you- so you are a victim again.
New diagnostic tests and scans are available to show the injured part of the brain; what it affects and demonstrate the full extent of the harm caused to our clients. 3D modeling is very effective proof.
Two companies are working on a test that would detect the presence of protein markers that show up in blood after brain injury has occurred. We can only hope that this will be effective in the near future and brain injury victims can be diagnosed and treated earlier.
