Being involved in a car accident is a traumatic experience and being injured makes it even worse. Accidents usually happen quickly and sometimes you may not even be aware if you’ve suffered an injury, especially a head injury as symptoms can be delayed. If you have been involved in an accident, make sure you are aware of certain symptoms and receive medical attention right away after an accident.

Over half of head injuries are caused by car accidents. The most common cause is due to blunt force trauma. Injuries to the head can include neck injuries, lacerations to the head, and brain injuries such as a brain bleed or bruises on the brain.

First, always receive medical assistance, even if you think you may not have been injured. No matter how minor, you should get checked out. Choose to get examined by the medical assistance on scene or go see a doctor right away. This is especially important when it comes to head injuries. You may not realize you have an injury right away since symptoms can sometimes be delayed.

Symptoms of a head injury include unconsciousness, headaches, vomiting, or sleep disorders. Often times, head injuries will impact your daily life.

If you think you may have suffered from a head injury, your doctor should properly treat you by giving you a proper CT scan as well as an MRI to ensure that everything is okay. Your doctor will be able to tell if you’ve suffered any brain injuries and help you get back on the road to recovery.

After receiving medical assistance, make sure you obtain legal advice. An attorney will help you to proceed with a personal injury claim. The right lawyer will always investigate the claim thoroughly and be responsible for obtaining any medical records for both parties and talking with witnesses, as well as speaking with experts, the other party, and insurance companies involved.
