A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head or a sudden, forceful movement of the head and neck. This can result in damage to the brain cells and lead to a variety of symptoms.
The kind of compensation you can expect for a concussion depends on the severity of your injury and other factors such as the extent of medical treatment, lost wages/opportunities, lost property, pain and suffering, and future expected medical or personal needs. Mild concussions compared to traumatic brain injuries will see different compensation. Speak with our team today to understand what you can expect to claim!
While it’s always best to seek medical attention promptly, you may still be able to file a claim. However, it’s important to consult with one of our lawyers to discuss your specific situation.
Recovery time for concussions can vary depending on the severity of the injury. Some people may recover within a few weeks, while others may experience lingering symptoms for months or even years. If you have lingering symptoms for more than six months, you may be entitled to additional injury compensation. Talk to one of our lawyers to learn more!
If your concussion or brain injury is expected to cause long-term pain and suffering, you may be entitled to compensation for future losses.
If you’ve been involved in an accident and are experiencing any symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, or difficulty concentrating, it’s important to consult with a medical professional to determine if you have a concussion.
Our team will support you in gathering all the evidence you need. This may include medical records and police reports, as well as information from your doctors about treatment plans.
The length of the legal process for a concussion claim can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case and the insurance company’s cooperation. We ask that all our clients be prepared for a process that could take a few years.
You may be able to recover compensation for lost wages if your concussion injury prevented you from working; however, within the first two years of an injury your own insurance will cover a portion of your lost wages.
If we believe that the insurance company is not offering a fair settlement for your concussion or brain injury, we may need to take your case to court. Our experienced lawyers can help you navigate the legal process and fight for the compensation you deserve.
If you’ve suffered a concussion or brain injury, it’s important to have a free consultation with one of our lawyers as soon as possible. You do have up to two years to file a complaint; however, the sooner you speak with a member of our team the better. We can help you understand your legal rights and options.
