An interstate car accident brain injury can be serious even when the person felt fine at the scene. Some symptoms, like headaches, dizziness, and memory trouble, can show up days or weeks later.<\/p>\n

This guide explains how these injuries happen, which symptoms to watch for, what to keep, and how a free case review works with Big Bubba Injury Law. If you’re still in treatment, you don’t have to sort this out alone.<\/p>\n

What an Interstate Car Accident Brain Injury Is<\/h2>\n

A brain injury is damage to the brain caused by a blow, a jolt, or an object that enters the skull. A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). The Administration for Community Living<\/a> states that automobile accidents can cause TBIs, which come from an external force.<\/p>\n

You can have a serious brain injury even if you were awake, talking, and walking at the scene. The brain moves inside the skull during a hard jolt. That movement can cause injury even when your head doesn’t hit anything.<\/p>\n

This page is for injured drivers and passengers. It is also for family members who are helping a relative recover, or who lost someone in an interstate crash.<\/p>\n\n
