Traumatic Brain Injury | Summit County Ohio Serious Injury Lawyer

A 52-year-old Akron man was severely injured when a truck driver from Bolivar turned left in front of him. The accident occurred on SR 241 in Green. The Akron man suffered a traumatic brain injury as well as many other injuries. The small town of Green had three fatalities in 2009 according to the ODPS, with Summit County having 32 fatalities.

On a related note, it is important to note that according to current research, many brain injuries from car accidents go undiagnosed. This is because the symptoms are not always readily apparent, as is the case with serious traumatic brain injuries. Mild traumatic brain injury can cause symptoms such as forgetfullness, dizziness, etc, which many people do not tie to the car accident so they don't tell their doctors about them. Also, in this day and age of HMO and managed care, doctors do not always have enough time to ask all the questions to find out about mild traumatic brain injuries unless the person mentions it first.  I see this a lot in my Ohio personal injury practice. Also it is important to note that according to the Center for Disease Control, a person does not need to hit their head on the dashboard to suffer brain damage. The rapid movement of the brain inside the skull during a rear impact is enough to cause brain damage.
