I was in hit by a car while riding a motorcycle in Texas. Could I have a head injury?
A: Motorcycle riders are unfortunately at a very high risk of suffering from a serious head injury. Motorcycles can travel at the same speeds as cars but without the added bodily protection—and a helmet just doesn’t keep you as safe as a steel frame.
Even if you believe you are not seriously injured, it is important that you receive medical treatment as soon as possible after your Houston car accident. Some injuries—especially subtle ones whose symptoms may be easily dismissed—take days or weeks to make themselves fully known.
A few common signs of brain injury after a Texas motorcycle crash include:
Memory loss
Trouble concentrating
Headaches
Blindness, blurry vision, or light sensitivity
Disorientation or dizziness
Seizures
Trouble sleeping or sitting still
Ringing in the ears
Irritability, depression, or other sudden behavioral changes
As experienced Houston car crash attorneys, we know that head injuries are among the most devastating injuries a motorcycle accident victim can experience. If left untreated, patients may suffer permanent brain damage, behavior changes, or even untimely death.
