Brain injuries – Common brain injuries sustained in Kansas City car accidents include concussion, post-concussion syndrome, closed head injury, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Symptoms vary greatly depending on the part of the brain that is injured; however, some of the most common symptoms of brain injury are: loss of consciousness, dizziness, nausea, vertigo, sensory difficulties, speech problems, and personality changes. The effects may be permanent and victims often require extensive rehabilitation.

Brain injuries are very serious. The victim’s life is often forever changed. He may not be able to work and the injury may affect relationships with family members and friends. To learn more about brain injury, visit our Kansas City brain injury law page.

Car accident victims who sustain a head injury of any type are entitled to insurance compensation for their medical care, lost wages, disability and other losses.
