Iowa's Brain Injury Specialist

Concussions are a national problem. Concussions are an injury to the brain. Medicine and science now understand that sports injuries can have devastating effects on brain function. This is why we see stories about head-injured football, soccer and wrestling athletes all the time now. We know better than to injure our athletes.

Life changes for victims of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and their family members. In a split second, an act of negligence on the playing fields or Iowa roads or a mishap during seemingly harmless recreational activities can result in a traumatic brain injury.

Many TBI victims will have long-term health care needs, specifically therapy and medical intervention to retain cognitive functions and basic life skills. However, with the complexity of the brain and the specific damage that occurred, recovery is not a guarantee.

Questions We Hear About Traumatic Brain Injuries

  • What Are the Signs of a Traumatic Brain Injury?

    Not every traumatic brain injury is immediately obvious. Symptoms may include headaches, memory problems, confusion, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, dizziness, sensitivity to light or noise, or changes in personality. If you notice these symptoms after an accident, seek medical attention as soon as possible.


    Watch Attorney Rob Conklin explain why recognizing the signs of a brain injury is so important.


  • Can Concussion or Brain Injury Symptoms Appear Days Later?

    Yes. Some symptoms of a concussion or traumatic brain injury may not appear immediately after an accident. Memory problems, headaches, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, and personality changes can develop hours or even days later. If new symptoms appear after an accident, it's important to seek medical evaluation promptly.

  • Can I Have a Traumatic Brain Injury Even If My CT Scan Was Normal?

    Yes. A normal CT scan does not necessarily rule out a concussion or traumatic brain injury. Some brain injuries affect how the brain functions rather than causing injuries that appear on imaging studies. If you're experiencing ongoing symptoms after an accident, continue following your doctor's recommendations and discuss any concerns with your medical providers.

  • What Compensation Can I Recover After a Traumatic Brain Injury?

    If your brain injury was caused by someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, rehabilitation, and other damages. Because brain injuries often have lifelong consequences, it's important to understand the full impact before accepting a settlement.

  • Why Are Traumatic Brain Injury Cases So Complex?

    Every brain injury is different. Some people recover quickly, while others experience long-term difficulties with memory, concentration, emotions, speech, or daily activities. Because the effects of a traumatic brain injury may continue long after the accident, these cases often require careful medical evaluation and thorough documentation.

  • How Can a Traumatic Brain Injury Affect My Family?

    A traumatic brain injury doesn't just affect the injured person. Family members often notice changes in personality, memory, emotions, communication, and daily routines. These life-changing effects may continue long after the physical injuries have healed, making it important to consider both the immediate and long-term impact of a brain injury.
