What You Should Do if You Have Suffered a Head Injury?

If you have experienced any of the above symptoms after an accident, it is important to seek medical attention right away. A doctor can evaluate your condition and recommend the appropriate treatment. Over the course of treatment, a head injury specialist may be required.

Common Types of Head Injuries in Accidents

Some of the most common types of head injuries suffered in accidents include:

Concussions – a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head; often resulting in temporary loss of consciousness
Contusions – bruising on the brain due to an impact with the skull
Hematomas – pools of blood that collect outside the brain due to torn or damaged blood vessels
Skull fractures – a break in the bones of the skull; often caused by blunt force trauma
Tearing of nerve fibers – damage to the nerves in the head and brain, which can cause paralysis, speech difficulties, or vision loss.

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

A traumatic brain injury is any disruption in normal brain function caused by an external force. Symptoms can include changes in emotion, speech, behavior, attention, learning ability, and memory.

The effects of a TBI are often long-term and may require ongoing physical therapy, speech therapy, and rehabilitation to help the person recover as much as possible.

How Long Does a Traumatic Brain Injury Last?

The duration of a TBI can vary depending on the severity and type of injury. Mild traumatic brain injuries usually resolve within one to three weeks, while more severe TBIs may be lifelong injuries requiring ongoing therapy.

Will a Traumatic Brain Injury Ever Heal?

The effects of a TBI may be permanent, depending on the severity and type of injury. In some cases, patients can recover some lost brain function over time with extensive treatment.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

In New Mexico, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim for damages. §37-1-8 The Statute of Limitations has some exceptions, so contact our personal injury lawyers to discuss the specific timeline that applies to your injury.
