Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys

Mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) is the most common kind of brain injury and is often the result of a “closed head injury” from the brain hitting against or twisting inside the skull. MTBI are commonly referred to as concussions. Many cases do not result in hospitalization and may not have long-term repercussions. On the other hand, someone may not know they suffer from MTBI until months after the incident that caused it.

Common causes of MTBI include motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall, work related accidents, and sports injuries.

Initial symptoms of MTBI may include:

Subsequent symptoms, also known as “Post Concussion Syndrome” sometimes appear in clusters and can last for days, weeks or longer.

Post Concussion Syndrome symptoms may include the following:

MTBI is frequently not diagnosed or misdiagnosed as depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, learning disability, migraine, or seizure.  This is in part because the symptoms are often delayed and appear and recede, and is difficult to detect.

Unlike as with other kinds of brain injury, MTBI is not readily detected by MRI, EEG and CAT scans. MTBI can only accurately be detected by neuropsychological evaluations, SPECT scans, Q-EEG or autopsies.
