California head injury lawyers like Robert G. Schock help clients seek the necessary coverage to finance their conditions and begin to put their lives back together.

Symptoms of a serious head injury

If you or a loved one suffers a head injury, it is possible that the wound or damage will be obvious, and that you will seek medical attention immediately because it is necessary. But even in seemingly minor accidents, it is important to have all possible head injuries examined, even when no immediate symptoms are apparent.

Make sure to be vigilant in looking for signs that could indicate a more serious condition than is initially apparent. Exhibiting any of the following telltale symptoms warrants a consultation with a doctor or other health care professional:

  • Persistent or worsening headaches
  • Nausea that will not go away
  • Dizziness/vertigo
  • Constant ringing in the ears
  • Aches and pains in the neck
  • Feelings of anxiety, confusion, discontent, irritability or depression, or frequent and noticeable changes in behavior
  • Unrelenting tiredness
  • Dilated pupils, or pupils of different sizes
  • Impaired walking or speaking
  • Weakness or numbness in the arms or legs
  • Seizures
  • Vomiting
  • Drainage of clear or bloody fluids from the ears or nose
  • Memory loss

How serious are head injuries?

Head injuries tend to range in severity. While most people recover fully from head injuries, other experience lasting effects, especially if the brain is affected. Doctors can take computerized tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance images (MRIs) to determine the type of head injury sustained and its level of seriousness. Some common head injuries include the following:

  • Concussions. Caused by a jarring impact to the head/brain.
  • Contusions. Bruises to the brain.
  • Skull fractures. When the skull cracks, often leading to fragments of skull bones causing bleeding in the brain.
  • Hematoma. Caused when a bleeding in the brain collects and then clots, forming a bump that gradually or rapidly appears.
