If you or someone you love has experienced a catastrophic brain injury, it’s important to speak with an attorney at The McGarity Group, LLC, as soon as possible regarding your legal options. Insurance companies, whether working on behalf of a negligent party, an employer or even a healthcare provider, will always try to settle as fast as they can for as little as possible. We know that negotiations with the insurance carrier or litigation is often the only way that you or your loved one who has been injured will be awarded the resources necessary to move forward after a life-changing injury.

Common symptoms and side effects of traumatic brain injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have wide-ranging physical and psychological effects. Some signs or symptoms may appear immediately after the traumatic event, while others may appear days or weeks later. Examples of symptoms and side effects of TBI are:

Mild TBI

Moderate to severe TBI

If you have been involved in an accident and are showing any of these side effects, it is essential to seek medical attention and determine if you have suffered a brain injury. It is also important to meet with an attorney at The McGarity Group, LLC for help with seeking remedies for your damages.

Why does employment play such an important role in the recovery of returning service members with traumatic brain injury?

Employment enables many people with TBI to fully participate in society. Obviously, employment is critical for a TBI victim’s income and economic health, but it also provides social interaction and reduces isolation. It is important for a TBI victim to create a sense of personal worth and social integration that contributes to greater life satisfaction. Employment after head injuries is an important component in the recovery and rehabilitation of returning military service members with TBI.

What challenges might people with TBI encounter in the workplace?

Depending upon the severity of the TBI, some individuals may experience few challenges in the workplace while others have more difficulties. The most common workplace difficulties for a victim of TBI are related to attention span, short-term memory, organizational skills, headaches and mental fatigue.
