Have you or a loved one suffered a concussion in a car wreck, motorcycle accident, bicycle accident, or a slip, trip, or fall?

WHAT IS A CONCUSSION?
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that results from a blow to the head or violent shaking of the head. Concussions are not uncommon and are often sustained in car crashes and slip, trip, and fall accidents.
The symptoms of a concussion include:
- Impairment in balance
- Impairment in coordination
- loss of memory
- impaired judgment
- Headaches
Concussions are generally mild and most people diagnosed with a concussion fully recover. Most people do not experience a loss of consciousness when a concussion injury occurs.
Roughly 10% of concussion victims experience post-concussion syndrome which can last more than a year after the onset of the concussion. The symptoms of post-concussion syndrome includes those of a mild concussion and new symptoms such as behavioral changes, emotional changes, light and noise sensitivity, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and dizziness. Symptoms vary in victims.
CAN I FILE A LAWSUIT AFTER SUSTAINING A CONCUSSION?
In order to make a claim for damages after sustaining a concussion you must be diagnosed by a medical doctor that believes the concussion was a result of the preventable accident for which you want to file a lawsuit. Further, in order to file a personal injury lawsuit after being diagnosed with a concussion, you must have been injured as the result of another’s negligent or intentional act and be able to prove it. If you were diagnosed with a concussion and you feel that justice has not yet been done, contact a concussion attorney today to discuss filing a concussion lawsuit.
WHY TYPE OF ATTORNEY DO I NEED IF I WANT TO FILE A LAWSUIT AFTER SUSTAINING A CONCUSSION?
Generally you will want to retain an attorney who focuses on personal injury. Personal injury lawsuits involving concussions are typically complex and require an experienced and savvy concussion attorney to try the case effectively. The most difficult issue with claiming damages for a concussion injury is that the symptoms of a concussion can be vague and reasonable physicians can differ in their opinion as to whether a patient, in fact, has sustained a concussion. A sophisticated concussion attorney will know how to present the evidence in a clear and convincing manner which will give you the greatest chance of justice for your claim.
