What If the Insurance Company Says My TBI Symptoms Are Mild or Unrelated?

If an insurance company says your symptoms are mild or unrelated, don’t worry. Insurance companies love to minimize traumatic brain injuries, especially when initial imaging comes back normal. Here’s the thing: many brain injuries don’t show up on standard CT scans or MRIs. Push back with comprehensive neuropsychological testing that shows cognitive deficits. Document how these symptoms affect your daily life and provide expert testimony explaining that “mild” traumatic brain injuries is a misnomer. There’s nothing mild about losing your ability to concentrate, have constant headaches, or experience personality changes. Track everything from missed work, relationship changes, and your activities that you can’t do anymore.
