Concussions from car wrecks can cause brain injury

Concussions from car or motorcycle accidents can result in long term problems - but often they are given little consideration unless the symptoms and diagnostic testing are dramatic. Recently the NFL finally admitted that its players who had repeated concussions may be at risk for long-term problems. This occurred after years of players "shaking it off" and continuing to play after receiving a "mild" concussion. Unfortunately, non-football players have done the same things for years.  Concussion signs include headache, drowsiness, loss of memory for the trauma that caused the concussion, vomiting, confusion, unusual eye movement, and muscle weakness. When in an auto, car, or motorcycle accident reporting these symptoms is critical for your doctor to provide you appropriate medical care. For more information about concussions, click here.
