Car accidents are a sobering reality of modern life, and the brain, as the control center of our bodies, is incredibly vulnerable to trauma during sudden and violent collisions. Most of us aren’t even fully aware of the full scope of things our brain does for us until there is an injury that impedes its functions. Below, Tiemann Law Firm outlines the different effects of brain injuries after a car accident and how legal counsel can help you if you find yourself facing this situation.

Physical Effects

  1. Headaches and migraines
  2. Dizziness and balance issues
  3. Motor function impairment
  4. Speech and language difficulties
  5. Seizures

Cognitive Effects

  1. Memory problems
  2. Attention and concentration issues
  3. Slowed cognitive processing
  4. Executive functioning deficits

Understanding The Effects of Brain Injuries After a Car Accident

Emotional and Behavioral Effects

  1. Mood swings
  2. Depression and anxiety
  3. Impulsivity and behavioral changes

Sensory and Perceptual Effects

  1. Vision and hearing problems
  2. Sensory processing issues

Long-Term Effects

  1. Chronic pain
  2. Cognitive decline

Understanding these potential effects and seeking appropriate medical care and support are crucial steps in managing the consequences of a brain injury and maximizing recovery outcomes. Recovery after a brain injury often requires the involvement of several medical professionals, such as neurologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and psychologists or psychiatrists. Rehabilitation programs are tailored to the individual’s specific needs and may include physical therapy to improve motor function, cognitive therapy to address memory and attention deficits, and psychological counseling to support emotional well-being.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
