A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This sudden movement can lead to chemical changes in the brain and often results in a range of functional impairments. Although many concussions are considered mild, they can have severe and long-lasting effects on an individual's health.

Symptoms of Concussion

The symptoms of a concussion can vary from person to person and can take time to develop. Common symptoms may include:

Headaches
Confusion or disorientation
Nausea and vomiting
Balance problems or dizziness
Sensitivity to light or noise
Difficulty concentrating or remembering
Irritability or mood swings
Sleep disturbances

It is critical to seek medical evaluation if you suspect a concussion, as timely diagnosis and management can influence recovery.

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to any disruption in normal brain function caused by an external force that can result from vehicle collisions. TBIs can range from mild concussions, characterized by temporary effects, to severe injuries that may lead to long-term complications such as cognitive impairment or physical disabilities. The severity of a TBI is based on the individual's symptoms and the duration of unconsciousness, making early recognition and appropriate medical intervention crucial for optimal recovery outcomes.

The Importance of Medical Attention

If you or someone you know has sustained a head injury, it is crucial to obtain medical attention immediately. Doctors can perform assessments, including neurological exams and imaging tests, to evaluate the extent of the injury. Even if symptoms appear mild, some individuals may experience more severe consequences later. Early intervention not only aids in recovery but also helps prevent further complications.

Long-term Effects of Concussions/Traumatic Brain Injuries

While many individuals recover fully from a concussion, some may experience persistent symptoms known as post-concussion syndrome. This condition can lead to ongoing headaches, memory issues, fatigue, and other cognitive difficulties that can interfere with daily life. Moreover, repeated concussions can result in more severe outcomes, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain condition increasingly recognized in athletes.

Legal Implications of Concussions

If you or a loved one has suffered a concussion due to someone else's negligence, you may have legal rights to pursue compensation for your injuries. In Texas, the law allows victims to seek damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs.

At our Houston law firm, we understand the complex nature of concussion and traumatic brain injury cases. Our experienced attorneys dedicate themselves to helping victims move through the legal process to ensure they receive the compensation they deserve. We take pride in advocating for our clients and holding responsible parties accountable for their actions.
