What Can Cause Head Injuries in Motor Vehicle Accidents?
Head injuries can occur when a person’s head strikes part of a vehicle, another object, or the ground during a motor vehicle accident. They can range from mild injuries to more serious trauma, depending on the force involved and where the head is struck.
Common signs of a head injury can include headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea, vomiting, memory problems, or unusual sleepiness. Some symptoms may appear immediately, while others can develop later.
Seat belts and properly used child safety seats can reduce the risk of serious injury by helping keep occupants in position during a collision. Airbags can provide additional protection, but they are designed to work with seat belts rather than replace them. Prompt medical evaluation is recommended when head trauma is suspected.
