Yes.  That is why it is so imperative to be examined following a serious Los Angeles auto accident, slip and fall or other adverse event.  What seems like a minor blow to the head can take a turn for the worst.

When it comes to brain injuries, it can be difficult to determine the extent of initial brain damage.   Sometimes, accident victims aren’t even aware that they have fractured their skulls.  Bleeding and swelling can occur inside the skull, leading to fatal consequences.

If you have been injured in a car accident, truck accident or other type of accident, and hit your head, you need to be checked out by a medical professional immediately.
