Florida Brain Injuries Attorney, Randall Spivey of Spivey Law Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.A. suggests, "Anytime a person hits his or her head is a time for concern.  Knowing the danger signs is critical to getting a timely evaluation and treatment."

"Don't ignore a hit on the head," says Health After 50 (October 2013) issued by Johns Hopkins University School of  Medicine. Dr. Peter Rabins Professor of Psychiatry & Health Policy at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine says traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can be prevented because there are warning signs that can point to the need for an evaluation.  Proper medical care can ease symptoms and detect any complications. Symptoms may appear immediately or develop slowly over hours or days.

According to the article here are the TBI danger signs:
