When to Suspect a TBI After an Accident

Even if there’s no direct impact or visible injury, a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can still occur due to sudden motion (e.g., whiplash in a car crash). Use this quick guide to recognize red flags:

Did the Incident Involve…

  • A car accident, even at low speed?
  • A fall (e.g., staircases, workplace)?
  • A head strike (with or without helmet)?
  • Sudden deceleration or impact (e.g., airbags deployed)?

Are You Now Experiencing…

  • Headaches, dizziness, or nausea?
  • Confusion, difficulty concentrating, or brain fog?
  • Mood swings, anxiety, or unusual irritability?
  • Sensitivity to light/sound or visual changes?
  • Trouble sleeping or remembering things?

When Symptoms Don’t Improve or Worsen…

  • After 24–72 hours
  • When daily tasks feel more complicated than usual
  • When you “just don’t feel right”

Don’t wait. Seek expert neurological evaluation.
