Your Needs Always Come First

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are the result of some of the most severe and life-threatening accidents. It occurs when a sudden or sharp blow to the head disrupts your brain’s normal cognitive functions. As Connecticut personal injury attorneys, we have helped victims and their families who have suffered from such a traumatic incident, to help them find some recompense for the incident.


Some of the most common symptoms of TBI include:

Dizziness

Memory loss

Nausea

Vomiting

Headaches

Seizures

Difficulty falling asleep

Sensitivity to light

Loss of coordination

If you have experienced these symptoms following an accident, visit the doctor immediately for a checkup. The doctor should run a thorough evaluation and, if necessary, create a plan for treatment if there is any sign of an issue. A TBI is not like a bruise or a fracture, as the symptoms are not always apparent right away. This is why we urge you to seek treatment to rule out any serious problems.

On the legal front, Fitzpatrick Santos Sousa Perugini P.C. can help evaluate the circumstances behind the accident to determine who was at fault. We use all of the information we have gathered to build a compelling argument on your behalf and undertake all of the necessary negotiations.
