A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused when the brain strikes the inside of the skull during a car accident impact. Even “minor” accidents at low speeds can cause concussions, and symptoms may not appear for hours or days.
Symptoms to Watch For
Headache, confusion, memory problems, dizziness, nausea, sensitivity to light and noise, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, and sleep disturbances.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Medical evaluation to rule out more severe brain injury, cognitive rest (limiting screen time, reading, and mental exertion), gradual return to activity under medical supervision, and monitoring for post-concussion syndrome.
Why Prompt Treatment Matters
Delaying treatment for brain injuries can lead to chronic pain, permanent damage, and a weaker insurance claim. Medical records that document your injury immediately after the accident establish a clear connection between the collision and your condition — which is essential for full compensation.
