Skull Fracture Injuries in Santa Rosa
Many types of accidents can result in a skull fracture, including the following:
- Car, truck or motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle or pedestrian accidents
- Bus, train or aviation accidents
- Construction accidents, including falls and blunt force injuries
After a skull fracture, the accident victim should be careful not to accept too quickly a declaration that "all is well" after the fracture appears to have healed. It is quite common for a skull fracture victim to have ongoing neurological problems, with resulting cognitive or emotional deficits. Headaches or seizures may also linger over time after a skull fracture.
