What is Vertigo? How do You Prove Its Worth in a Georgia car accident
Vertigo is any abnormal sensation of movement. A person with vertigo may feel that a room is rocking, or that the world is shaking. It is a serious condition, and when permanent, can be disabling. It can result from an accidental injury to the inner ear.
The ear is composed of several parts: the outer, visible ear; the ear canal; and the inner ear, the part behind the ear drum. The inner ear contains structures called semi-circular canals, which help detect motion and are part of the vestibular system that is responsible for balance. The inner ear is encased in bone, and if it is violently shaken, it can be damaged.
Vertigo often results from auto crashes that cause a sudden and violent motion of the head, which in turn causes a concussion to the inner ear that damages the vestibular system, resulting in vertigo. Many people recover from it, but some people don’t.
