If a loved one displays symptoms of a traumatic brain injury after an accident, take these steps immediately: 1. Seek emergency medical attention or consult a neurologist to identify potential hemorrhaging or intracranial pressure. 2. Follow all physician orders and restrict strenuous mental and physical activities. 3. Maintain a daily symptom journal detailing cognitive, physical, and behavioral changes. 4. Gather incident reports, witness contact details, and physical evidence from the incident scene. 5. Contact The Altman Law Firm. Jeffrey S.
