TBI and Head Trauma


If you suffer from TBI, also known as acquired brain injury or head injury, and you are unable to work, you might be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits. 

A head injury victim can acquire a TBI after a sudden trauma, such as an auto collision or other type of accident. The symptoms of a TBI will depend upon the severity of the accident and injury. Listed below are a few common symptoms of mild TBI: 

  • Pain
  • Disorientation
  • Changes in personality
  • Dizziness
  • Trouble with memory
  • Fatigue
  • Blurred vision 

More severe cases of TBI might also include other symptoms, such as: 

  • Ongoing headaches
  • Seizures
  • Frequent upset stomach
  • Changes or loss in coordination
  • Slurred speech
  • Loss of strength in limbs
  • Increased confusion or changes in personality 

The symptoms of TBI can make it difficult for a victim of a head trauma to effectively hold steady employment. If you are suffering from severe TBI, you might find that you need additional financial assistance, such as Social Security disability benefits. 

If you or your loved is suffering from a severe physical or mental disability, you should contact a Social Security Disability lawyer immediately to learn about your rights and determine eligibility. The process of securing Social Security Disability and/or Supplemental Security Income benefits can be difficult and overwhelming. Don't go it alone!
