Concussions Can Be Fatal If Left Untreated
Oftentimes, those involved in a motor vehicle crash will experience a rush of adrenaline, which causes their injuries to be masked for a few hours or even an entire day. This delay in symptoms can ultimately result in serious or sometimes fatal consequences, especially if a person has sustained any sort of trauma to the head. Many times, those involved in a crash will not realize that they hit their head. Unfortunately, this unknown trauma to the head can result in a concussion.
A concussion is a brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head, which jolts the brain inside of the skull. Although most people do not experience immediate symptoms of a concussion, it is important to be aware of certain signs. These signs include:
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Vomiting
- Forgetfulness
- Fatigue
- Trouble Sleeping
- Garbled or Slurred Speech
- Sensitivity to Light or Sound
If you or someone you love has been involved in a crash, it is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of a concussion. In addition, it is important to seek immediate medical treatment following an accident in order to diagnose and treat a concussion, soft tissue injuries, or internal organ damage. Furthermore, it is important to remember to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks in order to make a full recovery and mitigate the risk of reinjuring yourself. With an adequate amount of rest, those sustaining a concussion will likely make a full recovery.
