Mild TBI Symptoms after a Car Accident in Kentucky

After being involved in a car accident in Kentucky, you or your loved one could suffer a head injury. If an accident victim loses consciousness or becomes disoriented for less than 30 minutes, the result might be a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), also known as a concussion.

The common symptoms of a mild traumatic brain injury are often subtle and include: 

• fatigue;
• headaches;
• visual disturbances;
• memory loss;
• poor concentration;
• sleep disturbances;
• dizziness;
• irritability;
• depression;
• seizures;
• nausea;
• loss of smell;
• sensitivity to sounds and light;
• mood changes;
• confusion; and
• slowness in thinking. 

The symptoms of a mild TBI might not appear immediately after a car accident in Kentucky. It could be days before symptoms become apparent. In some cases, the symptoms might be so subtle that your family and doctor will overlook them.

With a mild TBI, you may appear to be healthy but feel abnormal. As symptoms continue, you might become frustrated when you can't remember certain things or when you become confused in your workplace. When you reach this point, seek medical care and explain to your doctor that you were involved in a car accident in Kentucky.

After you seek medical treatment, you should meet with a Louisville personal injury attorney to discuss filing a claim to recover damages for the long-term effects of your traumatic brain injury.
