Determining Liability
When it comes to proving that your traumatic brain injury was the result of someone else’s negligence, you will need to show that someone owed you a duty of care and intentionally (or unintentionally) did not show you that care, thus directly resulting in your injuries. In the moments and days following the accident, you may see signs of a brain injury, including experiencing:
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Loss of Consciousness
