Sports concussions and brain injuries from a car crash can produce nearly identical symptoms, such as headache, dizziness and trouble concentrating, yet the physical event behind each one can be very different. A tackle on a football field delivers a different kind of force than a body brought to a sudden stop inside a vehicle,...
Returning to a job after a traumatic brain injury takes more than a doctor’s signature on a release form. Recovery affects memory, attention, stamina and mood in ways that don’t always show up on a scan, so going back to work often looks nothing like what a patient or a treating physician expected. Medical clearance...
Some brain injury symptoms don’t appear until days or weeks after the accident that caused them. People routinely decline the ambulance, go home, sleep it off and return to work, and then find themselves losing words in meetings, struggling with light and noise, or exhausted by tasks that used to be easy.

Head injuries can change a person’s temper, mood and emotional control long after the visible wounds have healed.

Your first instinct is to check yourself and your passengers for blood or broken bones. If you don’t see anything terrifying, you breathe...
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) does not just break a bone or leave a scar; it fundamentally alters how a person interacts with the world. The medical reality is harsh, involving neurologists, occupational therapists, and months of rehabilitation. The financial reality is often worse. Medical bills stack up immediately, often right when the victim loses...
Suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) changes your life in a heartbeat.
