Car accident claim for concussion

Car accidents lead to numerous different types of personal injury. The most common injury is whiplash, however many people sustain concussion and need to make a car accident claim because of their symptoms.

Concussion is the most common type of brain injury and fortunately most people who sustain mild concussion do not suffer from long term symptoms. However, in the short term the symptoms suffered can be very unpleasant and can lead to time off work and inability to carry out normal activities.

A concussion injury occurs when the brain is bruised by striking the cranium. The injury causes headaches, vomiting, dizziness and problems remembering or concentrating. Making a car accident claim after sustaining concussion or any other head injury can help to improve the outlook for the future.

Severe concussion is a medical emergency for people suffering from it. With severe concussion, there may be bleeding inside the head or bruising of the brain. Usually someone with a serious head injury will have symptoms of a moderate or severe concussion - for example; being knocked out for longer than a few minutes, being very confused (unable to remember the names of people or places, and sometimes even their own name), vomiting repeatedly, or having a bad headache.
