Head injury symptoms

Loss of consciousness, even for a moment, is one of the clearest indications that the brain may have been affected by a trauma to the head. Other indications of an injury to the brain are where a person shows signs of confusion, involving uncertainty about time, date, and location and/or a period of memory loss for the period when the head injury or brain injury was sustained. Any of these symptoms following a blow to the head should be taken seriously.

With the most severe symptoms, loss of consciousness for more than a few minutes, the person should receive immediate medical attention. With less severe symptoms the person should be monitored for several hours after the head injury. Any evidence of deterioration may be a sign of the delayed effects of brain injury due to swelling or internal bleeding and would require the person to receive medical attention as soon as possible.

To summarise, symptoms that would cause concern after a head injury can include:

A bad headache that gets worse or doesn't go away within four to six hours after the head injury occurred

Drowsiness; especially if it lasts for more than two hours, or if the person is difficult to wake up. A certain amount of drowsiness is very common after a head injury, especially in young children

Confusion and disorientation

Feeling or actually being sick is common following a head injury, but if it is persistent or appears to be getting worse, it could be serious

If you or someone you know has sustained a head injury in a road accident that wasn't their fault, they may be entitled to claim compensation. For more information please call us on 0845 676 0615 for help and advice from one of our experienced claims advisors.
