Frequently Asked Questions

What are the long-term effects of concussions?

While some patients can fully recover from the effects of their concussions, many will experience long-term (or even permanent) effects from their traumatic brain injuries. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognize four types of long-term effects from concussions:

Thinking – Memory loss and impaired ability to reason
Sensation – Loss of sight (usually partial) and balance
Language – Difficulty with communication, expressing thoughts, and understanding others
Emotion – Mental disorders including anxiety and depression

Some accident victims will also experience a condition known as post-concussion syndrome (PCS). With PCS, the symptoms of a concussion – which typically subside in a matter of weeks – can last for months or years. These include symptoms such as:

Difficulty concentrating
Dizziness
Headaches
Irritability

How common are concussions due to vehicle collisions, sports collisions, and other accidents?

Concussions are very common. As scientists and medical researchers continue to learn more about concussions, we are beginning to better understand just how common these injuries really are. According to research, 40% of the 300,000 annual hospital visits for sports-related TBI involve concussions, and emergency room visits for treatment of concussions have risen sharply over the past several years.

When can someone seek financial compensation for a traumatic brain injury?

All types of traumatic brain injuries have the potential to support claims for financial compensation. If someone else, a business, or a dangerous or defective product may have caused your injury, we strongly encourage you to speak with one of our attorneys. Some of the most common types of accident cases we handle on behalf of individuals diagnosed with TBI include:

Car accidents
Truck accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
Dangerous and defective product accidents
Slips, trips, and falls
Workplace accidents
