Why noradrenaline hides traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
You might be wondering how a car accident causes brain injuries. The impact of the collision can cause the brain to jolt inside your skull. According to a study in 2024, your body reacts to a brain injury by activating a massive surge of noradrenaline. This may mask symptoms due to heightened arousal.
The numbness you experience after the crash does not last long. This means you can exhibit symptoms like nausea, fatigue and concentration issues days later.
What Georgia law says about your duty after an accident
In Georgia, when someone’s negligence causes you harm, you have the responsibility to prevent the damage from getting worse. This can include visiting the hospital and receiving appropriate treatment.
If you ignore the abnormal headaches, the at-fault party’s insurance company may argue that you failed to mitigate your damages. This could potentially reduce your total compensation.
Protecting your health and career
While your work is important, you must listen to your body when it signals pain. If left untreated, the concussion you have may turn into a TBI that impacts your career.
Car accident claims can be overwhelming to navigate, especially when your body is recovering from the injury. Seeking legal counsel can provide additional insights regarding this matter.
