DID YOU KNOW…
YOU DON’T NEED TO HIT YOUR HEAD to have a TBI!
Brain injuries aren’t always from a fall or an accident.
Sometimes they happen quietly…
After a stumble, sudden stop or jolt, oxygen loss, cardiac arrest, or trauma that leaves no bruise ~ sometimes at the hands of a loved one.
We Recognize Awareness every DAY….
Let’s make every moment matter
~ for Others, and for Ourselves.
TBI is a “Hidden Injury” ~ nearly 50% of Survivors don’t even know they have one.
Could you be one of them?

YOU might think symptoms are MINOR...BUT...maybe they're NOT. . .
Headache, confusion, irritability, anxiety, memory loss, and many others TBIQuickList & TBIQ
Quicker Treatment...which
Signs You Need Early Diagnosis: Seek immediate help if you experience confusion, dizziness, persistent headaches, memory issues, irritability, balance problems, or vision changes after a head impact (NIH article, Weill Cornell Medicine) Starting treatment (rest, symptom management) sooner limits the injury’s severity and duration.
Improves Recovery...which
Early intervention helps prevent persistent symptoms like “brain fog,” chronic headaches, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems, (NIH article)
Reduces Long-Term Issues...which
like Cognitive and Emotional issues
Prevents Worse Damage...
By managing acute and lingering effects, individuals maintain better cognitive, emotional, and physical function (NIH Article)
Enhancing Quality of Life...
Early diagnosis can mitigate risks of developing neurodegenerative diseases like CTE or Alzheimer’s later in life (Health.mil, this NIH article)

MORE THAN 50 sYMPTOMS OF A TBI…BUT IT’S STILL CALLED The “HIDDEN INJURY”
Many people don’t realize they have a TBI until YEARS later, when symptoms have become OVERWHELMING!
Symptoms like fatigue, confusion, irritability, memory issues, anxiety and mood swings are often misattributed to
STRESS, AGING or MENTAL HEALTH!
Symptoms can SEEM TO BE UNRELATED... so people are embarrassed, afraid to tell anyone about their “weird” symptoms! They didn’t want anyone to think they were *******! (I heard that every day!)
So…They suffer in silence ~ sometimes for YEARS, WITHOUT TREATMENT!
During my 40-year career as a paralegal, I helped 100’s of clients recognize that their symptoms were actually from a head injury at the time of their accident.
Quick Symptoms Chart Symptoms by Location (Lobe) of Injury Common/Less Common Symptoms List
The LOCATION of a brain injury plays a pivotal role in understanding its impact on SYMPTOMS and therapy for RECOVERY.
Each region of the brain governs distinct functions, meaning that the site of an injury directly influences the challenges an individual may face and the self-rehabilitation therapies that can aid their recovery.
By exploring how symptoms and therapies align with specific brain regions, this section provides invaluable insights to empower individuals on their journey to healing.

Some jobs carry a significantly higher risk for traumatic brain injury—and many workers don’t even realize it.
Whether it’s a fall from a ladder, a collision on the road, or repeated exposure to physical strain and environmental hazards, TBIs can happen in an instant or accumulate over time. And because symptoms often go unnoticed or misattributed, countless individuals continue working, living, and struggling without knowing why they feel “off.”

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to serious long-term conditions such as:
- Chronic headaches and migraines
- Seizure disorders (including post-traumatic epilepsy)
- Cognitive decline and early-onset dementia
- Depression, anxiety, and mood instability
- Sleep disturbances and chronic fatigue
- Hormonal imbalances due to pituitary dysfunction
- Sensory processing disorders (vision, hearing, touch)
- Motor coordination issues and balance problems
- Impulse control and behavioral changes
- Increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
These effects may not appear right away – but they can quietly erode quality of life, relationships, and independence over time. (Read More Long-Term Effects of TBI)
That’s why early Awareness (recognition), Screening (TBIQ confirmation), and Self-Advocacy (DIY Rehab Therapies available on our website!) are essential, and the sooner you start, the better!
Researchers at Flint Rehab confirmed that just 10-15 minutes a day...can reawaken the brain’s ability to heal itself (“Neuroplasticity”) and strengthen the neural connections that support memory, focus, mood, and daily function.
It will also help build new ones, support cognitive recovery, and improve overall brain resilience – especially when combined with aerobic activity that boosts oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain. (Click Here for Flint Rehab’s article about 30 Brain exercises!)

10 Exercises to Rewire Your Brain
Exercises to Rewire Your Brain
Easy Exercises You Can Do in the Office
BRAIN EXERCISES = NEUROPLASTICITY THIS IS HEALING!
Rehabilitation after a TBI is essential for Recovery!
It is a rebuilding process that requires dedication, and consistent daily effort. Engaging in various types of self-rehab activities helps to create new pathways in the brain that can “travel” around the damaged areas.
THIS IS NEUROPLASTICITY!
These new detours around the damage or new “roads” in your brain become stronger with each activity, which is essential for improving cognitive function and overall well-being. The more you engage in these activities, the stronger and more efficient these new neural pathways become.
Simple daily activities can make a significant difference. Whether it’s playing an instrument or simply listening to music, creating art or looking at vibrant colors, reading for a few minutes, playing a game, doing a puzzle, watching a short educational video, practicing deep breathing and doing some exercise, each activity contributes to your brain’s recovery and rehabilitation.
Click for RESOURCES – DIY Rehab Therapies
Consistency is key – the more often you engage in these activities, the more your brain will adapt and heal. Remember, YOU HAVE THE POWER to “rehabilitate” your brain, one day at a time.
NEUROPLASTICITY = HEALING!!!
EXERCISE + COGNITIVE REHAB = NEUROPLASTICITY = HEALING!!!

After hitting your head, ask your doctor about
- your injury’s severity,
- recovery timeline, and
- restrictions on activities like driving or exercising.
Other important questions include
- what symptoms to watch for,
- what pain medication is safe to use,
- the need for follow-up appointments, and
- when you can return to work.
(Ref: MedLinePlus, Mount Sinai)
EMOTIONAL EFFECTS OF A CONCUSSION
People with concussions usually have physical symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, forgetfulness, being easily distracted, or other cognitive symptoms.
However, it is just as common to have EMOTIONAL symptoms that interfere with recovery.
IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO START THERAPY/REHAB ASAP!
If you experienced a head injury resulting in concussion or TBI but is not so severe that you require inpatient hospitalization, you should be immediately beginning community-based outpatient occupational therapy.

The Harsh Reality of TBI Care ~ Why Awareness Matters
Recovering from a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) should be straightforward ~ but for too many people, finding proper care is a battle in itself.
AARP’s powerful article, “Traumatic Brain Injury: How to Approach Your Recovery,” highlights the gaps in treatment protocols, the lack of medical awareness, and the challenges of accessing multidisciplinary care.
Key Takeaways from the Article:
✔ Patients often struggle to find informed medical support ~ even from experienced physicians.
✔ There’s no clear treatment protocol for TBI, making recovery confusing and overwhelming.
✔ Many people have to advocate for themselves, fighting to coordinate specialists on their own.
✔ TBI symptoms are often dismissed or misdiagnosed, leaving survivors without proper guidance.
This isn’t just a problem for seniors …
IT AFFECTS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES!!
The need for awareness, education, and advocacy is greater now than ever!

Traumatic Brain Injury Long-Term Effects, Symptoms, and Treatment
Between 80,000-90,000 people who suffer traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) each year develop long-term disabilities related to their TBI. Many others suffer from a variety of long-term, problematic symptoms that continue to interfere with their lives. When they try to get help for these issues, they are often told there’s nothing more that can be done — or worse, that there’s nothing wrong with them at all.
More than 6 months after my electrocution by VOIP phone at work in 2008, one of my doctors had the audacity to tell me “It’s all in your Mind!” I suffered for YEARS because I wasn’t getting the help I needed, and Brain Games could only do so much for my injuries…

THERE IS NO FEE FOR A CONSULTATION WITH AN INJURY LAWYER.
Is someone else at fault?
WHAT MAKES A GOOD LAWYER?
COMPASSION FOR CLIENTS. Without compassion for their clients, a lawyer will never reach their true professional potential. The top legal minds in the field almost invariably highlight compassion and service when they offer advice to law students and aspiring lawyers. For example, as reported by the Columbia Daily Spectator, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told law students that they should try to use their degree to “make things a little better for other people”. A lawyer who is committed to representing and helping their clients is likely to find meaning and success in their professional life.

Many people sustain a TBI that wasn’t anyone’s fault (like a fall), but many people sustain a TBI due to the negligence of a third party (like an accident) and they retain a lawyer to represent them. I was a personal injury paralegal for 40 years. Because of my personal experience with multiple TBI’s, PI clients who had never told anyone about their weird and strange TBI symptoms for months, or even years, shared their experiences with me because I could relate to them. They were afraid everyone would think they were crazy! By sharing that information and how it affected their life, that detailed information could be added to the demand letter to the insurance carrier. Because of the extensive workup specifically surrounding the TBI, many settlements were 6-8 figures.
Settlement Value for TBI Case
How much an accident victim could receive depends on the economic and non-economic damages they sustained. These include medical costs (past & future), lost earnings & potential, property damage, past and future pain and suffering (which includes loss of Enjoyment of Life!). The settlement accounts for ALL tangible and intangible losses.
No Timeline for Settlement
A personal injury case has no timeline for settlement, meaning the time it takes to reach a settlement can vary greatly depending on factors like the severity of injuries, liability disputes, and the insurance company’s willingness to negotiate, with some cases settling in a few months while others can take years to resolve; there is no set timeframe to expect.
Value of TBI Case
A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) significantly impacts the value of an injury case, primarily due to the severity of the injury, the long-term effects on the victim’s life, and the potential for substantial medical costs, lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering, which can all contribute to a much higher settlement amount compared to other types of injuries; the more severe the TBI, the higher the potential compensation value.
No Average Settlement for TBI Case
There is no “average” settlement for a traumatic brain injury because brain injuries are NOT an “average” injury.
Multiple factors are considered to determine how much your claim is worth, and personal information from YOU is VITAL for your case!
Check out a few Self-Rehab Therapies below, along with
The Science Behind It!!!
Flint Rehab
There are many creative ways to treat the secondary effects of a traumatic brain injury (TBI). One effective method is through art therapy. According to the American Art Therapy Association, art therapy includes using “active art-making, the creative process, and applied psychological theory…to enrich the lives of individuals, families, and communities.” Art therapy for brain injury patients is a great way to enhance cognitive and emotional skills and improve overall wellbeing.

Practicing mindfulness after brain injury can help you reduce stress and improve several cognitive abilities. In this article, you’ll learn the science behind mindfulness and meditation. Plus, we’ll show you how mindfulness after brain injury can boost your recovery. Mindfulness helps rewire the brain and trains patients to improve their overall awareness. This enhances your attention skills. Mindfulness offers many benefits to brain injury survivors and has been backed by science. These benefits include: Improved attention and concentration; Reduced depression and fatigue; Improved mental flexibility. Click to Learn More

Art and Colors. Sometimes it’s hard to talk openly about your feelings, especially after a brain injury. That’s where art comes in. Art therapy is a cathartic experience that lets you access feelings deep within your subconscious. It can help you work through any emotional problems you might have in a constructive, non-threatening way. That’s why so many psychologists prescribe art therapy to their patients suffering PTSD. In fact, many patients find it helpful to express themselves through painting. They might use colors to represent their feelings, or draw an image that means a lot to them.

Books can be an invaluable resource for traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors, their loved ones, and their caregivers who want to learn more about this condition. There are many traumatic brain injury books that are helpful for anyone who wants to learn more about TBI.
