Auto Accidents Cause Most Head Injuries
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine,
more head injuries are caused by motor vehicle accidents than by any other type
of trauma. They are also the most common cause of disability and death for
adults in the United States. All head injuries must be taken seriously because
symptoms of traumatic brain injuries (TMI) are not always clear and delays in
treatment can result in a death that might have been prevented. That’s why
Alyce Wittenstein, the best Queens
Brain Injury Attorney, recommends always going straight to the emergency
room by ambulance if you sustain even the slightest trauma to your head in an
auto accident.
What Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents Cause TMIs
Any type of
trauma to the head must be taken seriously, but there are some types of
accidents and behaviors that are more likely to result in a TMI such as:
●
Motorcycle Accidents cause the lion’s
share of TMIs, even when both the driver and the passenger are wearing helmets.
●
Pedestrians are completely unprotected
when they are hit by motor vehicles.
●
Head on Collisions cause severe TMIs
because the speeds of the vehicles are multiplied when they collide from
opposite directions.
●
Rollovers are especially dangerous for
drivers and passengers that are not wearing a seatbelt.
●
DUI is likely to be part of the equation
for the most serious types of accidents.
You can protect
yourself from serious injuries by driving carefully, obey traffic rules and
asking to be dropped off at a bus stop if the driver of a vehicle you’re riding
in is drinking, using drugs and/or driving recklessly. The best Queens,
Manhattan, Bronx, Staten Island and Brooklyn
personal injury attorneys tell their clients that your health is more
important than your driver’s feelings. Keeping this in mind might just save
your life.
Types of Head Injuries
These are the
most common type of head injuries sustained by victims of auto accidents:
●
Concussions ranging from mild
to severe;
●
Skull Fractures that are
classified as linear, depressed, diastatic and basilar;
●
Intracranial Hematoma (ICH)
injury that are classified as epidural or subdural;
All of these head injuries can be classified as TMIs based on their severity. This means that they can cause long term or permanent disability and require expensive medical and rehabilitation. That why it’s important to choose the best Queens brain injury attorney that knows how to collect the largest possible amount of money on your behalf.
