Hi, I'm Jane Lamberti, Georgia's brain injury attorney. Many of my clients ask me, “If I'm rear-ended but I haven't hit my head on the steering wheel or the dashboard, how can I have a brain injury?” Well, remember, the brain while it weighs three pounds, it's inside a skull and when you get hit with forces from behind, that brain can move forward and backwards into the skull and get injured because remember, the brain is made up of tiny little cells called "neurons". They measure 600 miles if you were to connect them from end to end and there's over four quadrillion connections within those cells. So, any kind of acceleration and deceleration and movement of the brain can cause a brain injury and it can be mopped. You can have a mild-traumatic brain injury but it can be very damaging to you especially if you've had concussions before. If you get injured again, it can make the damage even worse or sometimes, permanent. So, be careful. If you've been on a car accident or trucking accident and although you may never have directly hit your head, you still could have suffered a concussion or a brain injury. So, call us, The Cochran Firm. I'm Jane Lamberti. I'm Georgia's brain injury attorney, fighting for your peace of mind.
