Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I hit my head in a car accident?

Seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine. Get a thorough neurological exam, document all symptoms, follow up with specialists, and contact a brain injury lawyer to protect your rights.

Can a minor car accident cause brain injury?

Yes, brain injuries can occur even in low-speed collisions. The brain can be injured by sudden acceleration/deceleration forces without direct head impact.

How soon do brain injury symptoms appear after an accident?

Symptoms may appear immediately or develop over hours, days, or even weeks. Delayed symptoms are common with concussions and mild TBI, which is why monitoring is essential.

What causes brain injury in car accidents?

Brain injuries result from the head striking objects, sudden acceleration/deceleration (causing the brain to move within the skull), or penetrating injuries from debris.
