The Potential Consequences of a Slip and Fall Brain Injury

The results of a traumatic brain injury, as the name of the injury implies, may be traumatic. In the instant that it takes to hit your head in a slip and fall, or other type of accident, your life can be changed. The changes that occur depend on the extent of your injury, the part of the brain that has been hurt, and the medical and rehabilitation treatment that you receive.

If you have been hurt in a New Jersey or New York slip and fall accident, then it is important to be aware of the following types of potential complications*:
  • Sensory Problems: including problems with balance, dizziness, itchiness, taste sensitivity and ringing in the ears.
  • Emotional Changes: including depression, anxiety and mood swings.
  • Behavioral Issues: including changes in impulse control, outburst and risky behavior.
  • Communication Difficulties: including difficulty speaking or understanding.
  • Cognitive Problems: including memory, reasoning and problem solving skills.
  • Infections and degenerative brain diseases: these dangerous conditions may be more likely after a traumatic brain injury.
  • States of Altered Consciousness: such as comas and vegetative states.
  • Death: either as a direct result of the injury or as a consequence of an infection or brain disease.

It is important to remember that the impact of these significant consequences may be lessened with prompt and thorough medical care.
