Written by Adam Peck Category: Injury Law January 16th, 2013 2 min read

Head injuries can be very serious and in cases where the brain has been affected, the injury can have a significant impact on how you are able to live your everyday life.

The symptoms of brain injury can be very subtle and the fact that someone has a brain injury is not always obvious to others which is why it is often called the “hidden disability” says California Serious Injury Attorney Steven C. Peck.

Even minor head injuries can cause long term problems which might include:
Cognitive problems:

Memory problems
Difficulties with attention and concentration
Difficulties with planning and problem-solving
Taking longer to think
Difficulties multi-tasking
Inability to understand and communicate with others
Loss of skills in managing day-to-day affairs
Physical and sensory problems:

Persistent headaches
Nausea / vomiting
Visual disturbances (double vision, blurred vision and difficulties with bright lights)
Inability to cope with loud noise
Loss of hearing
Feelings of dizziness / vertigo
Loss of physical feeling or movement
Altered sexual drive or function
Sleep Disturbances:

Altered sleep patterns
Fatigue
Behavioral and personality changes:

Inappropriate behavior
Being irritable or easily angered
Feeling depressed, tearful or anxious
Impulsiveness and self-control problems
Feeling frustrated or impatient
