Car Accidents And Traumatic Brain Injuries

Not all serious car accident injuries are created equal - and not all serious car accident injuries are equally easy to diagnose. While a broken leg, internal injury, or puncture wound is somewhat easy for trained doctors to spot, treat, and monitor, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can be elusive, difficult, and debilitating.

What is a traumatic brain injury? A TBI is caused by blunt force to the head that results in trauma. The most common causes of traumatic brain injury are slips and falls, sports injuries, gunshot wounds, assaults, and car accidents. While some traumatic brain injuries are obvious, some can be overlooked altogether by even the most careful physicians and best hospitals.

The most severe traumatic brain injuries result in death, coma, skull fractures, or loss of consciousness. However, it is possible to suffer a traumatic brain injury without these symptoms. In fact, some traumatic brain injuries may not even present themselves for days, weeks, or months after an accident - and when symptoms do present themselves, they can also be vague and hard to measure.

Symptoms of traumatic brain injury include by are not limited to insomnia, migraines, depression, anxiety, cognition issues, personality changes, behavioral problems, motor problems, short and long term memory issues, weakness, fatigue, problems speaking, and problems concentrating.

While some who endure traumatic brain injuries in car accidents make a full recovery, many are left with permanent disabilities and ongoing medical problems. Some may not be able to hold down their job or enjoy their former hobbies and passions.
