In a town where commuters, visitors, and residents share the road every day, the early details matter. For traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases, the difference between “it happened, then I improved” and “it happened, then symptoms persisted or worsened” can drive settlement discussions.
That timeline typically includes:
- When symptoms began (right away vs. delayed)
- How consistently you followed medical advice
- Whether your symptoms were reported the same way across visits
- Whether you returned for follow-up care
When symptoms evolve—headaches, dizziness, sleep disruption, memory problems, mood changes—insurers look for consistency. If your medical record is thin or your follow-ups were delayed, they may argue your symptoms have another cause.
