Head Injuries and Auto Accidents
So you’re having head aches, dizziness, nausea, blurry vision, ringing in your ears, getting lost in conversations, and/or are unusually forgetful after your recent auto accident?
I’m not a doc, but you might have a concussion. And if these symptoms go on long enough, you might be diagnosed with post concussion syndrome. This is a potentially life-altering injury and you need help.
Nobody wants that, and nobody wants that for you. But if you sustained this type of injury as the result of an automobile accident, you should be compensated for the suffering you’ve endured, and for the – perhaps long term/permanent – changes you’ve had in your life as a result.
Sadly, what I often see is this type of injury going un-diagnosed and un-treated for months after the injury. And when it’s not documented, or at least not documented early enough, it makes it almost impossible to get fair treatment from an automobile insurance company. Trust me, it’s hard enough to get the right money on cases where everything is clear, you don’t need anything else making it more difficult.
So if you have ANY symptoms that you think could be tied to a head injury following an automobile accident, it’s vital that you complain early and often about them to your health care providers. Get your condition diagnosed quickly and get the treatment (if any) that is available to help manage your symptoms. Even if you don’t get treatment, at least getting the diagnosis early can be critical in the resolution of your claim.
Head injuries often happen from auto accidents, but if you don’t handle them correctly and quickly, your claim can be even more of a mess than it already has to be. Call an attorney for advice ASAP.
