Getting into a car accident may lead to serious health repercussions even if you do not have obvious injuries. If you do not experience any immediate symptoms after a vehicle collision in California, you may think that you do not have to worry about your health. However, physical trauma may cause a traumatic brain injury, and the symptoms of this condition do not always occur immediately. It is important to pay attention to any changes in your health, as there are several symptoms that may indicate the presence of a TBI.

According to the National Institutes of Health, some TBI symptoms may appear right away, but others may not be evident until days or weeks after the traumatic incident. If you lost consciousness during your car accident, this may indicate a TBI. However, sometimes there is no link between loss of consciousness and a TBI, so paying attention to all your symptoms after the accident is essential.

There are several frequent indicators of mild TBI. These include dizziness, headache, behavioral changes, nausea and blurred vision. If you have a moderate or severe TBI, you may experience different or more intense symptoms: persistent headache, seizures, confusion, sleep issues and a numb feeling in your arms or legs. You may also have nausea or loss of consciousness for prolonged periods of time. These are some of the symptoms that commonly indicate a TBI, but many people have different experiences. One of the most important things to remember is to seek professional medical attention anytime you experience physical trauma, especially if it involves your head.
