Adrenaline is powerful. It can carry you through the scene of a crash feeling completely fine, only for symptoms to show up hours or even days later.
Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries are some of the most commonly missed injuries after car accidents in Los Angeles.
Delayed symptoms to take seriously:
π§ Headaches that won't go away or keep getting worse
π§ Brain fog, confusion, or trouble concentrating
π§ Memory gaps or repeating yourself
π§ Sensitivity to light or noise
π§ Mood changes, irritability, or anxiety
π§ Trouble sleeping β or sleeping much more than usual
If any of these show up after an accident, get evaluated by a doctor right away. Worsening headaches, repeated vomiting, slurred speech, or one pupil larger than the other mean go to the ER now.
Why it matters for your claim: insurance companies often argue that injuries reported days later weren't caused by the accident. A prompt medical record connecting your symptoms to the crash protects both your health and your rights.
At Salamati Law, we help Los Angeles accident victims whose injuries didn't show up right away.
