First Steps After a Traumatic Brain Injury

It is extremely important to seek medical attention if you suspect any level of head injury. Even mild TBIs with mild symptoms can quickly take a turn for the worse. It is imperative to get prompt treatment in any TBI case to minimize long-term damage. Once a brain injury is stabilized, short-term and long-term care for TBI patients can take various forms. Whether in an inpatient or outpatient setting, a rehabilitation program will usually include numerous specialists who work with patients and their families to overcome the physical, emotional, and neurological complications that arise after a traumatic brain injury.

  1. Call 911. If the brain injury just occurred and emergency care is necessary, call 911 immediately.
  2. Document follow up care. Keep a record of hospitals visited, doctors seen, follow up appointments, and prescriptions filled.
  3. Contact an attorney for legal counsel and next steps. Fill out the form below or call DeGaris Law today for a FREE CONSULTATION.
