FACT: A concussion is a traumatic brain injury.
FACT: Concussions are sometimes referred to as “mild” brain injuries, but the results are often not mild.
FACT: Concussions occur without a loss of consciousness. (Any state of confusion or disorientation is considered a “partial loss of consciousness” following a traumatic event and can produce a concussion.)
FACT: A Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS) is a condition where the symptoms of a concussion do not resolve within weeks after the concussion but, instead, continue.
FACT: Many concussions occur in car accidents where there is a “whiplash” of the brain without an actual blow to the head.
FACT: Many concussions result in permanent disability and dysfunction.
The MINNEAPOLIS CAR ACCIDENT LAWYERS are experienced in helping the victims of concussions, and whiplash brain injuries, to identify the existence of concussion injuries and provide information as to where they can obtain expert medical treatment and therapy.
