On Thursday, February 20th, Attorney Chad McLain of Graves McLain appeared on KTUL’s Good Day Tulsa program to discuss traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), along with their signs and symptoms. Watch the segment:
According to the Centers for Disease Control, a TBI is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head which causes normal brain functions to be disrupted. Everyone is potentially at risk, given that a TBI can be caused by many things, including sports injuries, falls, or car accidents.
A TBI can greatly affect one’s life.
In the short-term, a victim may demonstrate symptoms such as communication issues, memory problems, emotional changes, and trouble with balance. In the long-term, a TBI may require lifelong medical care.
Additionally, TBIs have the potential to cause brain issues later in life, including developing Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s Disease.
