Traumatic Brain Injuries After a Truck Wreck: What Victims Need to Know

You’re driving. It’s just another day—until it’s not. A semi-truck swerves, slams on the brakes too late, or comes barreling through an intersection. Suddenly, your world is in chaos.

You wake up in the hospital—or worse, your loved one doesn’t.

The doctors start using terms like closed head injury, cerebral contusion, diffuse axonal injury, or traumatic brain injury (TBI). At first, it might not even seem obvious—maybe it’s a headache, confusion, dizziness. But over time, the symptoms don’t go away. In fact, they get worse.

That’s the reality of a TBI after a truck wreck. You may look okay on the outside—but inside, everything is different. Memory loss. Mood swings. Light sensitivity. Slurred speech. Difficulty focusing. These are real signs of brain trauma, and they can derail your ability to work, care for your family, or simply live the life you had before.

At 1-800-TruckWreck, we’ve seen how devastating traumatic brain injuries can be—not just for the person injured, but for their entire family. And we’re here to make sure that when a trucking company’s negligence causes a brain injury, someone is held accountable.

Because the truth is, you can’t afford to wait. And you shouldn’t have to fight this alone.

Recognizing the Signs of a Traumatic Brain Injury After a Truck Crash

Truck wrecks are violent by nature—and your brain can suffer damage even if there’s no visible wound. You don’t have to hit your head on the steering wheel or be knocked unconscious to have a TBI. Here are common symptoms to watch for after a crash:

  • Headaches that don’t go away
  • Dizziness or vertigo
  • Memory loss or confusion
  • Difficulty concentrating or speaking
  • Mood swings, depression, or irritability
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Sensitivity to light or noise

Some symptoms show up right away. Others can take days or even weeks. But they all deserve to be taken seriously—and they all deserve legal protection.
