A serious car accident involving the grandson of Crystal Cathedral founder Robert Schuller named Timothy Milner, who was struck from behind in a car accident in Santa Ana. Timothy Milner was in a compact “Smart Car” at night with his fiancée when he stopped in the slow lane of the 55 freeway in Santa Ana and was struck from behind from a Honda Accord. Mr. Milner and his fiancée were knocked unconscious as a result of the accident, and emergency crews had to break a window in order to get to them to treat them for injuries. Mr. Milner and his fiancé were transported via ambulance to local area hospitals to be treated for their injuries.
Serious car accident collisions can result in concussions and other head injuries such as being knocked unconscious and traumatic brain injury, or TBI. As seen from the accident above involving Mr. Schuller, if the accident is serious enough, head injuries can result. Accidents like this may leave you disoriented, unconscious, and unaware of your surroundings. If you believe you have sustained a head injury such as described above, it is imperative to contact emergency medical personnel via 9-1-1. At no time should you attempt to drive after sustaining a head injury, as you will likely not be able to drive safely. Head injuries such as concussions can have effects that last for days. Recent studies have even suggested that head injuries such as concussions may have permanent effects on the human brain.
If you have been involved in a car accident and have sustained any injuries, including head injuries, please feel free to contact the Law Firm of Rivers Morrell for a free consultation.
