After a car crash, many people don't realize their injuries are serious. Just because a victim's head isn't bleeding, doesn't mean they are perfectly fine. Closed head injuries often occur after car accidents and almost 2 million people suffer from these types of injuries every year. This usually occurs when a car crash victim's head suddenly hits a hard service at a fast speed without penetrating their skull. This type of collision results in internal injuries within the brain.
Winshields, steering wheels, car seats and dashboards can all injure the brain. Because the brain is the most critical organ in the human body, it is also the most fragile. In fact, in some cases it doesn't even matter if there is any impact at all. Whiplash alone can even cause a closed head injury.
The worst part is, that victims of closed head injuries many times don't even realize they are suffering. Some symptoms are so small that the victims think they are just muscle spasms or headaches. Some other symptoms of closed head injuries include bleeding from the head or face, confusion, lethargy, loss of hearing or fluid drainage from the nose or ear.If you or someone you love has suffered from a closed head injury after a car crash accident, it is very important that you contact a qualified accident lawyer immediately. A qualified attorney can help provide you with compensation for your suffering.
Don't hesitate, as time is a critical factor.
