You’re driving home from work along the same route you always take, when suddenly, you’re broadsided by a speeding driver who blew through a stop sign. Upon impact, your head hits the steering wheel. Sadly, this is a fairly common scenario for auto accident victims. Head injuries are common, even if you’re driving the speed limit and obeying traffic laws. Quite simply, you can’t predict or control another motorist’s behavior.
Sometimes, when your head hits the steering wheel, you might be dazed and shaken but — aside from the shock — feel relatively fine. Other times, you might lose consciousness or suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
