Concussion After a Granbury Car Crash
Short answer: A concussion is a brain injury from the head moving or stopping suddenly, with or without a blow. Symptoms like headache, dizziness, fogginess and memory trouble can last weeks. In Granbury, call 911 for red-flag symptoms; paramedics will choose between Lake Granbury Medical Center and a trauma center.
Why distance matters here
Lake Granbury Medical Center on Paluxy Road is Granbury’s hospital emergency room. For the most serious injuries, call 911 and let paramedics choose the hospital. JPS in Fort Worth is the region’s Level I trauma center. For a serious head injury in a rural crash, calling 911 instead of driving yourself lets paramedics go straight to the right hospital.
Red flags
A worsening headache, vomiting more than once, confusion, slurred speech, unusual drowsiness, or weakness: call 911.
Other signs over the next days
Headache, dizziness, feeling slowed down, memory trouble, irritability, sleeping differently, sensitivity to light. You don't need to have hit your head.
Weeks, not days
Seat and head restraint
Set the restraint close to the back of your head, level with it.
