You may have a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) or a MTBI (Mild Traumatic Brain Injury) from your accident which may be causing your memory and other cognitive functions. Contact an injury lawyer for a free consultation to discuss your potential case. B

If you have a lawyer ask him to help. You need to be tested and see if you do have an injury and if so why?

Do you have a lawyer? Is the injury from the fault of the other party? These questions are important. You may have Traumatic Brain Injury from a sudden movement or impact in the vehicle. In that case testing may be necessary to determine any brain injury that we help our clients with.

I can possibly help if you are in upstate South Carolina. If the accident was the result of someone else's negligence, an attorney may be able to help you file a lawsuit against the other individual. If the accident was not a result of someone else's negligence, an attorney may be able to assist you in obtaining Social Security Disability.

First of all, you completely skip over the facts of the accident and presume liability. Assuming liability is there, you also skip over major facts of your injury, such as a diagnosis and a medical opinion that the accident caused the problem. That being said, brain injuries can be very difficult to detect and diagnose, particularly subtle ones. It takes the opinions of a combination of medical experts to properly diagnose and treat the condition. Typically, you need a neurologist and a neuropsychologist involved. Personal injury lawyers experienced in brain injury cases know how to prove brain injury cases. You should seriously consider consulting one.

Forgetfulness and loss of "executive function" are symptoms of brain injury. The best indicator for brain injury is a neuropsychological evaluation.

I am confused, also. What kind of accident? Who was at fault? Did you go to a hospital? Did you give them all of the facts relating to your accident? Did they examine you, completely? Were there findings to support your claim of brain injury? When you were discharged, were you referred to a treatment facility?

Memory and cognitive issues following an injury can be indicia of a traumatic brain injury. You ought to consult a psychiatrist and/or a neurologist for further follow up. If the problems resulted from an automobile collision, then I would strongly urge you to consult a personal attorney as personal injury attorneys can often help people without resources to pay for services up front get the help they need right away (i.e. through liens and other means).
