How to Recognize the Likelihood of a TBI after a Motor Vehicle Wreck

In the aftermath of a motor vehicle accident, it’s essential that you know the telltale signs of a traumatic brain injury, so that you can immediately get the care you need. The sooner you can diagnose a TBI, the more options you’ll have for treatment and the better prognosis you’ll have for maximum recovery

The Common Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury that May Appear after a Car Accident

According to the National Institutes of Health, motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of traumatic brain injury, leading to more than 200,000 ER visits every year. Some studies suggest that as many as one in every three car accidents leads to a TBI. The telltale signs of traumatic brain injury include:

  • Headaches that won’t go away—Headaches are to be expected, but should subside within a couple of hours
  • Persistent nausea or vomiting—As with headaches, nausea can be typical, but should go away shortly
  • Heightened sensory responses—An uncharacteristic sensitivity to light, sound, smell, taste or touch
  • Ringing in your ears
  • Challenges with balance or stability
  • Weakness or numbness in your extremities
  • Communication problems—difficulty talking or understanding what is being said to you
  • Changes in sleep patterns, either in the form of insomnia or excessive fatigue
  • Difficulty with concentration, memory or cognition
  • Unusual depression, anger, anxiety, irritability, aggression or impulsive behavior
