Recognizing head injury symptoms
While many head injuries are visibly obvious and receive the necessary attention, others that occur in seemingly minor accidents could go unnoticed. It is essential to seek full examination following any accident in which you experience trauma to the head or neck, even if there are no immediate symptoms. Moreover, be vigilant in looking for any of the following signs of a more serious head or brain injury after an accident. Be sure to revisit the doctor and consult with a head trauma injury attorney if you have any concerns, such as the following:

The severity of head and brain injuries
Although most people fully recover from head injuries, those that are most serious often have lasting effects, especially when the brain is concerned. When diagnosing head and brain injuries, physicians take computerized tomography (CT) scans, or magnetic resonance images (MRIs) to assess the level of severity they are dealing with. These tests can be very expensive, but are useful in diagnosing common head injuries such as concussions, contusions, skull fractures and hematoma. If one of these conditions goes undiagnosed or untreated, it increases the risk for limits or restrictions to blood and oxygen in the brain. Ultimately, permanent severe brain damage could be the result.
