The impact of brain injuries from motor vehicle accidents

When a person suffers a brain injury in a car accident, it can have an impact that affects many areas of life. Life after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be difficult, and it can take a long time to recover from even minor brain injuries suffered from motor vehicle accidents. It is important to recognize the symptoms of these types of injuries in order to pursue the most appropriate recovery.

The impact of a brain injury differs on a case-by-case basis. Brain injuries are unique, and the type of symptoms that a West Virginia victim displays will depend on the area of the brain affected and the severity of the impact. As the brain is the most complex organ in the body, these injuries can be incredibly complicated and recovery can be lengthy and expensive.

Some of the most common signs of a brain injury include confusion, headaches, dizziness, lack of focus and more. In some cases, a person may not realize that he or she has suffered a TBI until days or weeks after the injury has occurred. An injured brain can prohibit a person from living a full life and fulfilling daily obligations, depending on which side of the brain is affected.

Victims of motor vehicle accidents in West Virginia should act quickly when they have suffered a brain injury due to the actions of another driver. As these injuries are complicated, it is important to work with a legal professional who can prepare and present a strong claim. Living with a brain injury can be costly and painful, and an impairment — either temporary or permanent — must be handled appropriately.
