What is a Car Crash Head Injury?
A car crash head injury occurs when the head sustains trauma during a vehicular accident. These injuries can range from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The force of impact, the angle of collision, and whether or not the individual was wearing a seatbelt can all influence the severity of the head injury.
Common Types of Car Crash Head Injuries
1. Concussion
A mild form of traumatic brain injury that affects brain function. Symptoms may include headaches, confusion, dizziness, and nausea.
2. Contusion
Bruising of the brain tissue, which can cause bleeding and swelling within the brain.
3. Skull Fracture
A break in the skull bone, which can vary in severity and may require surgical intervention.
4. Hematoma
A collection of blood outside of blood vessels, which can increase pressure within the skull and require immediate medical attention.
5. Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI)
Widespread damage to the brain’s white matter, often caused by severe shaking or rotational forces.
Symptoms to Watch For
The symptoms of a car crash head injury can vary widely depending on the severity of the injury. Common symptoms include:
- Headaches or migraines
- Loss of consciousness
- Confusion or disorientation
- Dizziness or balance issues
- Nausea or vomiting
- Sensitivity to light or noise
- Memory problems
- Mood changes or irritability
The Importance of Immediate Medical Attention After a Car Crash Head Injury
If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury in a car accident, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Even seemingly minor symptoms can indicate a more serious underlying issue. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve outcomes and reduce the risk of long-term complications.

We begin with thorough medical evaluations to assess the patient for injuries that might be misdiagnosed or missed completely by the professionals at the ER. Our comprehensive approach ensures that all potential issues are identified and addressed promptly.
We utilize X-rays to check for skull fractures and other related injuries.
