Auto Accidents and Traumatic Brain Injuries

Auto injuries are a leading cause of traumatic brain injuries and many passengers or parties involved in auto accidents are unaware that they have suffered a mild or traumatic brain injury. A traumatic brain injury is a serious issue which requires professional diagnosis and representation. What to do if you suspect a brain injury has taken place during auto accidents: Those who suffer from traumatic brain injury rehabilitation centers need to first determine whether they in fact do have such injuries. A proper diagnosis is critical to your recovery and requires the use of CT, MRI or DTI to detect the changes. When a victim is involved in a auto accident they are often times unaware of the long term harm caused by the impact. Sudden impact to the brain can cause shearing of the axonal tissue which can lead to long or short term memory loss and vision impairment. How Automobile Brain Injuries Take Place: Automobile collision which causes impact to the airbag, dashboard, steering wheel or sudden restraint by the seatbelt can result in coup on contre-coup. This is the sudden acceleration of the brain followed by immediate deceleration which causes the brain to collide with the inner skull area often times causing permanent brain damage or head injuries resulting in a traumatic brain injuries.
