Headaches

Headaches can be the result of many different kinds of injuries, and often occur following traumatic neck injuries. For instance, auto accident victims who suffer whiplash often complain of headaches. These may be the result of injuries to the soft tissue. Some studies have documented as many as 82% of rear-end collision victims reporting headaches afterward. However, any auto accident can cause injuries capable of leading to headache symptoms. Falls also are a leading cause of injuries that leave victims suffering headaches. In some cases, headaches that follow accidents can signal traumatic brain injury.

Brain Injuries

  • Every year, about 1.7 million people in the U.S. suffer a traumatic brain injury.
  • Hospital emergency rooms treat more than 1.3 million people per year for brain injuries.
  • More than a quarter of a million Americans are hospitalized for brain injuries annually.
  • Traumatic brain injuries kill an estimated 52,000 people per year in the U.S.
  • Falls cause about 35% of brain injuries.
  • Motor vehicle accidents are responsible for about 17% of brain injuries.

When a careless motorist injures you in an accident or a negligent property owner’s failure to maintain his premises causes you to be hurt in a fall, the injury attorneys at Freeman Injury Law know that headaches may be among the symptoms you experience from your injuries. We also know that your symptoms may worsen as time passes. That makes it important that you avoid rushing into a fast settlement if you’re offered one. Our seasoned personal injury lawyers know that insurance adjusters want nothing more than to minimize your claim, so they may urge you to accept a settlement quickly. However, what begins as a slight headache could progress into more serious symptoms – nausea, vomiting, dizziness, memory problems – that signify severe injury to the brain.

At Freeman Injury Law, our personal injury and wrongful death lawyers have both medical and legal knowledge. We know that, beyond traffic accidents, many other types of injury can cause headaches. For instance, headache can be a symptom of exposure to toxic substances – a hazard that occurs in U.S. workplaces, and even in such seemingly innocent surroundings as our own homes. Headache can happen as a reaction to prescription drugs and to some types of vaccines. If you feel that you or someone you love is suffering headaches because of the negligence or irresponsible actions of an employer, a property owner, a motorist, or anyone else, call the Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorneys at Freeman Injury Law.
