What Are Common Head Injuries After a Vehicle Crash?
Head injuries after a vehicle crash can range from minor trauma to serious brain injuries. A person may experience a bump, cut, headache, dizziness, confusion, or loss of consciousness.
Some symptoms can appear immediately, while others may develop hours or days later. Changes in behavior, worsening headaches, repeated vomiting, difficulty speaking, or unusual sleepiness can require prompt medical attention.
Seat belts help keep occupants in the proper position during a collision and can reduce movement inside the passenger compartment. Airbags provide additional protection by cushioning the head and upper body during certain types of crashes.
The severity of a head injury can depend on factors such as vehicle speed, the direction of the collision, and whether the person’s head struck part of the vehicle.
