  2. SIGNS OF BRAIN INJURY AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT Some forms of brain injury after a car accident may be more common than people like to believe. Such an injury may have lasting effects on individuals, and subsequently their families. If a loved one was recently in an accident, it is important for you and others to keep a watchful eye and to address any issues. There are a few key signs that may indicate a brain injury after an car accident.

  3. PHYSICAL EFFECTS There are a number of different symptoms of brain injury. A few common physical manifestations include: 1)Unconsciousness, 2)Clear fluids draining from nose and ears, 3)Dizziness or slurred speech, 4)Seizures, 5)Loss of sleep or extended sleep patterns These are a few of the possible symptoms. Any clear or suspected physical injury should receive examination.

  4. MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL CHANGES Some mental and emotional symptoms may not show themselves right away. After an accident, family members and friends should watch for certain signs, such as: 1) Forgetfulness or profound confusion, 2)Depression or anxiety, 3)Mood swings or unusual behavior Recognizing these types of signs is not always easy. That is why it is critical for you to maintain a watchful eye on your loved one for at least a week or two after the accident.

  5. MEDICAL TESTS Seeking medical attention after an accident is key. Even when individuals feel fine, there may be internal damage that needs assessing. After an initial check-up, if the physician suggests additional visits, it is important to ensure that your loved one follows those instructions. Not only can this aid in preventing further injury, but it also helps to verify the existence of an injury, which is critical should he or she choose to file a personal injury claim for the accident.
