How brain injuries can affect you after a car accident

Posted by Stephanie Gelber In Uncategorized 0 comment

People who survive a car accident often live with injuries and medical conditions for a long time after the wreck. For example, imagine being in a rollover accident where you suffered injuries to your upper body, neck and head. Given that brief description, you could be dealing with severe whiplash, broken vertebrae, a traumatic brain injury or even paralysis. These are heavy, serious medical matters that can change the course of a human life.

Even something like whiplash can linger for weeks or even months, leaving a person with an inability to think clearly and a bevy of headaches and pains that simply sap them of energy. Whiplash can change a person, making them into a shell of their former self.

Of course, traumatic brain injuries are a serious threat in car accidents as well. TBIs can cause significant memory loss; they can cause dramatic changes in your mood or lead to severe headaches and migraines; they can lead to disrupted vision; and in the worst cases, they can lead to a long-term or permanent disability. Traumatic brain injuries are very serious, and those who have suffered one in a car accident need to consider their legal situation.

A personal injury lawsuit could help you cover the medical and rehabilitative costs associated with your condition, as well as hold someone who was negligent in the crash responsible for their reckless behavior. At Gelber & O’Connell, we can help those who have suffered serious injuries in the wake of a car accident.
