Learn How Concussion Injuries Happen
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines a concussion as a “bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth.” The sudden motion can result in damaged brain cells and chemical changes in the brain.
According to Mayo Clinic, a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The severity of your or your loved one’s injury can vary greatly. In some instances, a concussion will completely resolve after a few months. In other instances, a concussion can have lifelong effects, causing chronic pain, limiting your ability to perform daily activities, and requiring medical treatment for years.
A concussion can result from a variety of traumatic accidents due to the negligence of others. The most common causes of a concussion that we have handled include:
- Traffic accidents: These accidents may involve a car, truck, or motorcycle operated by a drunk, distracted, aggressive, or otherwise negligent driver.
- Slip and fall accidents: These accidents may cause a victim to fall due to a property owner or other responsible party failing to repair known hazards, such as broken stairs or walkways, torn carpets, or inoperable parking lot lights.
- Construction and workplace accidents: These accidents may occur because of unsafe practices of a general contractor or other party working at a job site.
- Other types of accidents: You or a loved one could have faced a concussion after a bicycle accident, boat accident, child injury, dog bite, firefighter accident, or abuse in a nursing home.
The long-term effects of a concussion can impact your or your loved one’s cognitive and motor functions. Changes in behavior, emotions, and the ability to experience sensations (such as touch and taste) are also possible.
Your or your loved one’s life might not return to the way it was before the accident. Because of the potentially catastrophic effects of a concussion, the lawyers at Dansker & Aspromonte Associates will carefully investigate the full range of medical and emotional injuries you sustained so that we can seek fair and just compensation. Our team will take all of your damages into consideration.

Types of Compensation You Could Seek in a New York Injury Case
If your concussion resulted from someone else’s negligence, you could seek compensation from the liable party. Your concussion could leave you facing painful symptoms that require a range of costly medical treatment. You could even be facing time off of work. Our attorneys can seek compensation for your:
- Pain and suffering: Concussion injuries could leave you with painful and even chronic headaches. If your well-being suffered as a result of a concussion, you could seek compensation.
- Medical bills: Your concussion could have left you with bills for emergency room visits, diagnostic testing, medications, follow-up visits to a doctor, and other costs.
- Lost wages: In some cases, your doctor may advise that you rest to heal from concussion injuries. You may have needed to miss work as a result.
- Reduced earning capacity: Concussions may sound like mild injuries, but some people can experience long-term complications, such as symptoms of vertigo or chronic headaches (per Mayo Clinic). This could leave you unable to return to your former job, and this loss could be compensable.
Our team can investigate your case and tell you what forms of damages you could seek.
