How Truck Accidents Lead to Brain Injuries

Truck accidents occur regularly on our nation’s highways, often resulting in serious injury and property damage. Truck accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, and when negligence is involved, victims can recover through a Georgia personal injury lawsuit. Many parties may be liable in a truck accident injury, including the truck driver, the truck manufacturer, the trucking company, or even the party that owns the cargo that the truck is carrying.  Anyone who has been injured in a semi-truck accident should contact an experienced truck accident attorney as soon as possible to have their case reviewed. The attorneys of Shane Smith Law are dedicated personal injury advocates who work hard to get our clients the compensation they deserve.The injuries that people can sustain in a trucking accident can range from minor injuries such as bumps or bruises to more serious injuries that may result in long-term complications. One common injury that people may sustain in a truck accident is a traumatic brain injury, or TBI. TBIs occur when a blow or jolt to the head causes an interference with normal brain function. TBIs can be very serious injuries, and it is important for anyone who suspects that he or she has sustained a TBI seek immediate medical attention. Some common signs and symptoms of a TBI include the following:
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Sensitivity to light and sound
  • Decreasing levels of consciousness
  • Irrational behavior
  • Issues with fine motor control
  • Seizure

There are many other signs and symptoms of TBI, and it is important for anyone who has been injured in a truck accident to undergo a full medical evaluation as soon as possible.
