Traumatic Brain Injury
Suffering a concussion from an accident can significantly impact your life. Depending on the type and severity of your accident, you can suffer several different injuries. One of the most serious types of injuries you can suffer in an accident, especially a motor vehicle accident, is a head injury. And of these types of head injuries, concussions are the most common.
You should always treat head injuries with caution. As such, if you or a loved one has been involved in an accident involving possible injury to the head, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. You or a loved one should see a doctor even if you believe you have not suffered any head injuries because you are asymptomatic. Symptoms of certain head injuries may not surface until several days or even weeks after the accident.
Common Signs of Concussions and Other Head Injuries
Simple concussions generally heal on their own. However, more complicated head and brain injuries can be serious and may require immediate and extensive medical treatment. There are certain “danger signs” which could point to a serious head injury. If you experience any of the following signs and symptoms after an accident, it is important to immediately consult with a physician:
Seizures or convulsions
Headaches that worsen instead of going away
Slurred speech
Vomiting
Difficulty with balance, coordination or sensations and feelings
These signs constitute immediate risk and should be treated most seriously. However, there are other symptoms that are often associated with a concussion that may indicate a less serious head injury, including:
Neck pain
Lack of energy
Difficulty sleeping
