- Unequal pupil size, clear fluid discharge from the ears or nose
- One-sided weakness or numbness
If the victim of a head injury experiences the above symptoms, seek emergency medical attention.

How much compensation can you get for a head injury?
Head injury compensation can vary depending on the severity, cause, pain & suffering, and other factors surrounding a head injury case. Have your case evaluated by experienced head injury lawyers when you contact Slaughter & Lupton Law, PLLC.
What to do if someone falls and hits their head?
When someone falls and hits their head, immediately check for an open airway (keep the person as still as possible and extend their neck by tipping their chin upwards to open their airway), breathing, and circulation (checking their pulse). Check for signs of severe injury. If they show severe injury symptoms or are unconscious, call emergency services immediately.
If conscious, stabilize their head and neck, assess for signs of bleeding and apply pressure, and monitor closely for signs of a concussion. Seek medical attention for any head injury.
