Car accidents are a sobering reality of modern life, and the brain, as the control center of our bodies, is incredibly vulnerable to trauma during sudden and violent collisions. Most of us aren’t even fully aware of the full scope of things our brain does for us until there is an injury that impedes its functions. Below, Tiemann Law Firm outlines the different effects of brain injuries after a car accident and how legal counsel can help you if you find yourself facing this situation.
Physical Effects
- Headaches and migraines
- Dizziness and balance issues
- Motor function impairment
- Speech and language difficulties
- Seizures
Cognitive Effects
- Memory problems
- Attention and concentration issues
- Slowed cognitive processing
- Executive functioning deficits
Emotional and Behavioral Effects

Sensory and Perceptual Effects

Long-Term Effects

Understanding these potential effects and seeking appropriate medical care and support are crucial steps in managing the consequences of a brain injury and maximizing recovery outcomes. Recovery after a brain injury often requires the involvement of several medical professionals, such as neurologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and psychologists or psychiatrists. Rehabilitation programs are tailored to the individual’s specific needs and may include physical therapy to improve motor function, cognitive therapy to address memory and attention deficits, and psychological counseling to support emotional well-being.
