Brain injuries are
prevalent across the State of California. This is brought by the high road
activity rate within the place. Due to tourism, the roads in this state are
often crowded with motorists who travel back and forth for vacation and
parties. Many Americans would even agree that California has some of the best
beaches and most fantastic sceneries in the entire country.
However, a planned
and supposedly beautiful vacation experience in this area could likely end up
in a devastating accident. Consequently, the records presented by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) prove this.
The NHTSA indicated
that in 2009 alone, there were about 3,081 traffic fatalities that were recorded
in the state. It even identified the city of Los Angeles as the one with the
highest death rate because of road mishaps.
According to the
National Institute of Neurogical Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), an estimated
50,000 people annually die on the road, while others survive but sustain
life-long debilitating injuries. Accordingly, crash accident survivors should
realize that they are prone to undiagnosed ailments, which they might have
unknowingly sustained.
One of these is the
Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI. It is defined as the effect of brutal force on
the skull. The skull is fractured or some fragments would pierce the brain and
cause internal bleeding. Cases of TBI differ from one another. A person may
still sustain this injury once the brain bumps the inside of the skull without
apparent fractures.
It is necessary for
victims of crashes to have some knowledge regarding TBI cases. They could use
this to assess if they have the same ailment and if they needed to file a
complaint against the person who caused the accident to be able to pay for the
medication. Accordingly, here are some of the early symptoms of TBI:
