A Missouri Motorcycle Crash Victims Guide To Traumatic Brain Injury

When a motorcyclist is thrown from his vehicle in a Kansas City motorcycle accident he often goes head first. While a helmet reduces the impact, it cannot completely protect the motorcycle accident victim from traumatic brain injury.

Signs and Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury

• Loss of consciousness for a few seconds to a few hours
• No loss of consciousness, but a state of being dazed, confused or disoriented
• Profound confusion
• Agitation, combativeness or other unusual behavior
• Memory or concentration problems
• Headache
• Dizziness or loss of balance
• Nausea or vomiting
• Sensory problems, such as blurred vision, ringing in the ears or a bad taste in the mouth
• Sensitivity to light or sound
• Mood changes or mood swings
• Feeling depressed or anxious
• Fatigue or drowsiness
• Difficulty sleeping
• Inability to awaken from sleep
• Slurred speech
• Weakness or numbness in the extremities
• Loss of coordination
• Loss of bladder control or bowel control
• Convulsions or seizures
• Dilation of one or both pupils of the eyes
• Clear fluids draining from the nose or ears

Traumatic brain injuries are serious medical emergencies. Even if there are no symptoms immediately after the crash, if you know that you have hit your head you should get immediate emergency medical attention. If you show any of the listed signs and symptoms, see a doctor right away. Often the swelling that occurs after the injury will do more harm than the injury itself. Early intervention is the best way to prevent potentially fatal brain injury complications.
