HEAD INJURY DUE TO ACCIDENT TRAUMA from an Auto Accident, Truck Accident, Construction Site Accident, Slip & Fall in Florida with headaches, neck pain

Every year, more than 30,000 people in the United States suffer a ruptured brain aneurysm resulting in a life-threatening subarachnoid hemorrhage—bleeding around the brain. Many accident victims will go promptly to their local emergency room or family physician and report that they are experiencing the worst headache of their lives. Unfortunately, many will be discharged without receiving the correct diagnosis or the emergency medical treatment they desperately need.

Failure to diagnose is the most common negligence in the treatment of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and this failure may be as high as fifty three (53) percent in patients visiting the emergency room for the first time. Many times physicians fail to obtain an adequate history, perform a thorough neurological exam, or understand the significance of the history and physical exam findings. Sometimes with troubling regularity, these attending physicians fail to obtain or accurately interpret diagnostic tests.

Delay in diagnosis and treatment of head injuries has dire consequences. In some cases, even minimal delay can mean the difference between life and death. Some accident victims complain of a severe headache with sudden onset, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, or neck pain. Sometimes the initial examination will reveal neck stiffness, an altered state of consciousness (for example, drowsiness, restlessness, or agitation), neurological impairments such as weakness or paralysis, visual problems, abnormal eye movements, or paralysis of eye movements.
