Sacramento Car Accident Head Injury Lawyer
Many different types of injuries can occur in a Sacramento car accident. Head injuries, such as a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI), are among the most serious types of injuries simply because they can impact how the brain functions and can negatively affect a person’s quality of life. Unlike other injuries that tend to be more straightforward in their effects and required treatments, head injuries are far more unpredictable.
Because head injuries can lead to long-term disabilities and require significant medical care, it is important to make sure you have an experienced Sacramento car accident head injury lawyer from Crowell Law Offices on your side.
Signs of a Head Injury
One of the biggest difficulties with head injuries is that there aren’t always visible signs. Head injuries that involve loss of consciousness or visible bleeding or bruising are usually easily detectable. Although these types of head injuries may be treated immediately, they may still take months or even years to even partially recover from.
Just as serious, however, are the head injuries that are not always immediately obvious. Because you may not notice them right away, there is an increased chance that a head injury could escalate and lead to medical complications down the road.
Some of the signs of a head injury to be on the look out for after a car accident include the following:
- Dizziness
- Diminished Cognitive Function
- Headaches or Migraines
- Memory Disruptions and Amnesia
- Changes in Motor Function
- Bleeding from Eyes, Nose, or Ears
- Nausea
- Decrease in Appetite or Energy
- Severe Mood Swings
As you can see, many of these signs are associated with other medical issues and could be easily mistaken for something else. If you experience any of these symptoms after a wreck, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Costs of Treatment for Head Injuries
The costs of treatment for a head injury caused by a car accident can be difficult to fully and accurately anticipate. To begin with, you will typically need to undergo a variety of tests to determine the extent of the injury. These tests might include X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, but in the event of a traumatic brain injury, these tests will need to be conducted over and over again to measure recovery progress.
In addition to the extensive testing and monitoring, your medical expenses will also include the costs necessary for your recovery, such as therapy, surgery, and medication.
Head injuries, even if just a concussion, can require significant changes in your lifestyle and may limit the most basic of functions. This means you could miss work, may need to hire someone to help you, and may have to modify your lifestyle in many other ways.
