How To Stop Short Term Memory Loss Due To a Car Accident

Car accidents are terrible and traumatic experiences, regardless of how minor they might be. The shock, the stress, and the injuries are all a part of a situation no one wants to be in. But even if your car accident is minor, you may not know what you’re dealing with right away. One of the most common injuries that occur because of a car accident is short-term memory loss.

You might think that you don’t need a car accident lawyer, especially if the accident was minor. However, even a small accident can cause serious injuries, and without legal representation, you might not be able to get the compensation you deserve. Car accident lawyers from Therman Law Offices, LTD have the experience and knowledge necessary to help you get the best possible outcome in your case. Contact a car accident lawyer today to learn more about how they can help you.

What is short-term memory loss?

Short-term memory loss, or STML, can be caused by many things but it is most often linked to some sort of head trauma. It occurs when the brain has been injured or damaged. This can be temporary or long-term, depending on how severe the injury is. The brain is very sensitive, so even a small bump can cause damage.

How does it happen?

A car accident can cause STML because there is typically a significant impact on the head during an accident. Car accidents involve all sorts of force being put on the body, including whiplash and forceful contact with airbags or windows. The impact from these forces can cause damage to the brain and lead to short-term memory loss.

Symptoms and Traumatic Brain Injury

The symptoms may not appear immediately after an accident, but when they do, they can be very frightening. Short-term memory loss is one of the most common types of memory loss associated with car accidents and other traumatic brain injuries.

If you’ve been in an accident and are suffering from short-term memory loss, it’s likely that you have a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Symptoms of TBIs vary from person to person; however, short-term memory loss is a very common symptom. Other symptoms include:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Confusion or disorientation
  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Difficulty concentrating, thinking or creating thoughts
  • Irritability or personality changes

If you have suffered short-term memory loss, and you don’t know why then it is time to get some help and find out what is going on. It can frustrate you when you keep forgetting things that you should know, so it is important to take action right away.

A car accident lawyer like 0ur friends at Therman Law Offices, LTD can help you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries. They can handle all the paperwork and negotiations, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

How to Help Short-Term Memory Loss

When something like this happens, the first person you want to talk to is your doctor. If they can’t figure out what is going on, then they might want to perform a few tests. These tests help them determine if there has been any physical damage done to the brain. If they find nothing, then they will usually send you to a psychologist or psychiatrist who specializes in treating people who have had this problem.
