Symptoms of Concussion Injuries

Due to the soft composition of brain tissue, it is surrounded by spinal fluid for protection. This spinal fluid acts as a cushion for the brain, preventing it from hitting the skull, especially during an impact.

Unfortunately, when an extremely forceful blows strike the head—that many occur at the point of impact in an auto accident—the fluid is unable to fully protect the brain, which causes the brain to hit the lining of the skull.

The result of this action is a concussion.

Concussion damages are incredibly difficult to recognize, especially because some of the symptoms do not appear immediately after the crash. While concussion injuries certainly range significantly in terms of severity, even a minor impact to the brain requires medical attention.

It’s also worth noting that while some concussion symptoms last for a few months, others may last only a few hours. With this in mind, it’s important for all accident victims must seek a doctor as soon as possible following a motor vehicle collision.
