Hard to recognize injury
Are you injured from a Charlotte car accident and you are still suffering from symptoms when you thought you would feel better by now? Brain injuries that result from head trauma are extremely common in auto accidents. Until recently, healthcare professionals considered the symptoms to be among the less severe types of injury sustained in a crash. Conventional wisdom was that the symptoms of a concussion would fade in a few days or weeks with rest. However, concussions, or traumatic brain injury is proving to be much more serious than once believed.
The initial symptoms of a concussion include headaches or the sensation of pressure in the head. Additionally, a victim can suffer from one or more of the following symptoms: dizziness, nausea, fatigue, slurred speech, confusion, and various levels of loss of memory. These primary symptoms commonly resolve within a few weeks, but traumatic brain injuries can continue to affect the victim for a much longer period of time. These long-term symptoms are collectively referred to as post-concussion syndrome, or closed head injury, and have been reported to persist for years after the initial injury, or permanently.
