Brain Injury

Motorcycle accidents can result in injuries ranging from being sideswiped to being thrown off of your motorcycle. Especially with the latter, these injuries can cause various types of traumatic brain injuries due to the lesser amount of protection that motorcyclists possess on the road. The Brain Injury Alliance of Utah says that there are three widely classified types of traumatic brain injuries. They are mild, moderate, or severe.

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

A mild brain injury would mean that you lost consciousness or were dazed for a few seconds or minutes; it is essentially a change in your mental state. One example of a mild traumatic brain injury could be a concussion. A concussion would make you mainly feel groggy, nauseous, have difficulty concentrating, and you should see your doctor very soon after a concussion occurs for proper recovery instructions.

Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury

A moderate brain injury would mean that you lose consciousness for minutes or hours, experience confusion for days or weeks, and physical, cognitive, or behavioral impairments last for months or permanently. These can result from a hard hit or violent shaking of the head. These types of injuries deserve immediate medical attention to ensure that recovery is expedited and effective.

Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

A severe brain injury is typically from an open-head injury or direct damage to the skull or brain tissue. It can increase one’s risk for brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease. This is the most debilitating type of brain injury since it will require extensive hospitalization or rehabilitation and will unlikely result in full recovery.

What to do if you think you have a brain injury from an accident

One precaution that is essential to either lessening or preventing the possibility of these injuries is to wear a motorcycle helmet at all times on the road to protect yourself from any risk. Otherwise, any of these injuries are possible and can be detrimental to your life. You should not have to feel the consequences without compensation or justice.
