Signs and Symptoms<\/h2>\n

Brain injuries can range from mild to severe. Unfortunately, some injuries may not be evident directly following an accident. Other injuries might not appear on x-rays, CAT scans or MRIs. If death occurs from brain trauma, it typically does not happen right after the event \u2014 but weeks later.
