While brain injuries surely have their short-term consequences, they may also have long-term consequences that are not apparent until later in life. If you or a loved one has sustained a brain injury from an accident, contact Mike Agruss Law for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

Brain injuries that are considered more common and minor typically have symptoms that dissipate within a couple weeks or months. More severe traumatic brain injuries can have long-term symptoms that significantly alter one’s lifestyle and well-being from the moments following the accident. A different type of issue is when symptoms appear years or decades following the accident.

When one undergoes multiple brain injuries in their lifetime, they can see traumatic consequences later in life. This applies even in cases of multiple minor brain injuries over their lifetime. Victims of this type of phenomenon may experience short-term memory loss, emotional changes resulting in depression or anxiety, and difficulty in making reasoned judgments. We often see this in former-NFL players who have suffered multiple head injuries throughout their careers. Later in life, they experience severe clinical depression and various permanent cognitive changes. People can try to offset or mitigate any extreme consequences by checking up with their neurologists regularly and keeping your brain stimulated and trained.
