Concussion Symptoms and Treatment Options

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is an injury that involves “a type of traumatic brain injury caused by 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.”

Your symptoms from a concussion may not appear right away, as they can take up to several hours or even days to begin to affect your ability to function, according to the CDC. For example, if you were involved in a motor vehicle accident, you can suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or a concussion—even if you can walk away from the accident under your own power. This is why you must seek immediate medical attention after an accident so you can check for hidden conditions, such as a concussion. Quick action or identification of a concussion has been shown to increase the chances of recovery.

Furthermore, seeking immediate medical attention will also help you build a claim for damages should you decide to hold the party responsible for causing your injuries. By consulting a medical professional, you can simultaneously treat your injuries and gather medical documentation and proof of your related injuries from the accident or condition that caused them.

CDC lists several other symptoms that are often a sign of a concussion, some of which may go unnoticed at first. These include:

  • Headaches or general discomfort in your head
  • Vomiting or nausea
  • Difficulty with your vision, dizziness, or balance issues
  • Sensitivity to light or noises
  • Groggy or hazy feelings
  • Memory loss and confusion

MedlinePlus states that the best treatment option for a concussion is rest, both mentally and physically following an accident or injury. There are also concussion tests that you may need to undergo, which can determine the function of your brain after the injury.

Baseline concussion tests are commonly used following an accident. According to MedlinePlus, they are used to measure a subject’s normal brain function. MedlinePlus recommends undergoing a baseline concussion test or similar treatments following any type of head injury to verify whether or not the individual is suffering from TBI or a concussion. If you are found to have suffered from a TBI or concussion, there are treatment options to help you recover from your injuries.

Proving Negligence in a Personal Injury Case

Simply being injured in an accident does not automatically mean you are entitled to damages against another person or business. To have a successful personal injury lawsuit, you will likely have to prove that your injuries were the result of someone else’s negligence. According to the Legal Information Institute (LII), negligence is defined as “a failure to behave with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would have exercised under the same circumstances.”

Even if someone was negligent, that alone does not guarantee a successful claim. Your concussion lawyer must present four key elements to prove that the party that caused your concussion was, in fact, legally responsible for your damages. The four elements include:

  • Duty of care
  • Breach of care
  • Causation
  • Damages

A duty of care means that someone must “act in the same manner as a reasonably prudent person in their position would,” as defined by the Legal Information Institute. A motor vehicle driver breaches this duty, for example, by speeding or texting while driving when an accident occurs. Causation involves whether or not the individual’s negligence directly caused your injuries. Just because someone does something negligent doesn’t automatically mean that such negligence played a part in your accident. You will also have to prove that you have suffered real physical and emotional injuries as a result of the accident to bring a personal injury claim.

At Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP, our Brooklyn concussion injury lawyers have extensive experience proving these legal elements through a careful and thorough investigation of the unique facts and circumstances of your case. But don’t delay since some evidence can disappear over time. Learn more about filing a personal injury lawsuit, call at to begin a free consultation.

Making a Claim for a Concussion Injury

If you have been involved in an accident that resulted in a concussion, you may be able to claim compensation for your injury and the resulting pain. However, you will have to prove that someone else was responsible for the accident. You will also need medical evidence to support your claim.

A Doctor’s Testimony

As part of your concussion injury claim, a doctor’s testimony should show:

  • That you have suffered a concussion
  • Whether or not you have post-concussion syndrome
  • That your concussion was the result of an accident
  • The symptoms you have testified to have come from your injury

Your testimony on the effects of your injury. The jury will want to hear directly from you about:

  • Your symptoms and complaints
  • How long your symptoms have lasted
  • How disabling your symptoms are
  • How your symptoms have generally affected your life

A lawyer with our firm can help prepare your pain and suffering testimony for the jury.

How Our Firm Can Help You Build a Strong Case

If you or a loved one suffered serious injuries in New York, a lawyer from Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP can seek damages on your behalf. 

You deserve to rest and recuperate after suffering from a concussion. We can handle the legal process from beginning to end.

Prove Your Injuries Resulted from Negligence

Like other diagnoses, if you have a concussion injury, you may claim damages for that injury as part of your personal injury case, and only if your doctor says that it is as a result of the accident.

We can gather evidence that proves that the injuries you suffered as a result of the accident were caused by the negligent party.

Negotiate with Insurers

When it comes to settling a claim, insurers prefer losses to be obvious, like having a broken arm. However, post-concussion syndrome is not clear, and that means insurers don’t always make a reasonable offer. We can negotiate for fair compensation and prevent you from accepting a settlement that does not address your current and future injury-related losses.

Represent You at a Trial

If negotiations with insurers do not yield a fair offer, we can take your case to court. We can argue your case before a judge or jury. We will present the evidence of your injuries, show how the other party was negligent and that their negligence caused your injuries.
