The Spva Law Group ~ The only Savannah law firm primarily dedicated to representing brain injury victims, survivors and their families.
Brain injuries are devastating, life changing, and often are not obvious to the casual observer. In fact, traumatic brain injuries are called the “silent epidemic” and the “invisible injury” largely in part because victims sometimes aren’t even aware that something is wrong.
Often family members report that their injured loved one has experienced many symptoms following a wreck or other trauma. These symptoms include:
• A change in personality
• Confusion or other cognitive problems
• Depression
• Headaches
• Irritability
• Nausea
• Other emotional and behavioral problems
• Severe vision problems
The medical literature lists symptoms of a traumatic brain injury to include:
• Cognitive symptoms
Attention problems
Concentration problems
Memory problems
