A traumatic brain injury or post concussion syndrome (PCS) is the result of a blow to the head, which causes bruising when the brain hits the skull. As a result of this blow, bleeding and swelling occurs in the brain putting pressure on delicate tissues that leads to lasting brain damage or death. (Case example)
Brain injuries are one of the most traumatic and life-altering injuries a person can suffer. Even minor brain injuries cause changes in an individual’s personality that often effects the loved ones they live with and regularly interact with. Family members often have the best understanding of the daily effects of the traumatic brain injury and they can play a critical role in communicating to a jury the severity of the person’s injury. Indeed, the injured person may not be able to do this for him or herself.
Common symptoms of a traumatic brain injury or post concussion syndrome include:
- Change in perceptual senses: (Hearing, vision, taste, smell and touch)
- Speech and language: Difficulty in understanding what is said, or in expressing thought.
- Cognitive: Thinking, remembering, poor judgment, attention problems, and problem solving.
- Memory: A problem storing and retrieving information; short or long term memory loss.
