March is National Brain Injury Awareness Month, the perfect time to help educate the general population of the symptoms of traumatic brain injuries. The Brain Injury Association of America just released a new fact sheet on concussions.
Contrary to popular belief, most concussions do not involve loss of consciousness. A concussion is typically caused by a blow or jolt to the head; however, a person can sustain a concussion even if they do not hit their head. An indirect impact elsewhere on the body can signal an impulsive force to the head and cause a concussion. Although you can not see a concussion, you may notice some of the symptoms right away or they may take weeks or months to appear.
Symptoms include: Nausea; Dizziness; Double Vision Sensitivity to Light; Headache; Tired or Foggy; Confusion; and Trouble Concentrating and/or Remembering.
Many times, a concussion is followed by glassy eyes and a person vomiting. Concussions typically do not show up on MRIs and CAT Scans, therefore, it is imperative to monitor yourself or a loved one and pay attention to the various symptoms following a forceful impact to the head or other part of the body.
According to the Brain Injury Association of America, of the 1.4 million traumatic brain injuries sustained in the United States each year, at least 75% are concussions. Among children ages 5-18, the 5 leading activities which account for concussions include bicycling, football, playground activities, and soccer.
If you or a family member has sustained a concussion due to an accident by a potential negligent party, it is important to contact an experienced traumatic brain injury attorney who can help you get the proper treatment and recover your past and on-going, related medical expenses.

Individuals that have been in an accident and had a blow to the head may not feel the effects of a brain injury until months after the incident. The accident may be minor but the repercussions can be enormous. Many brain injuries require years, and sometimes a lifetime, of rehabilitation. Medical bills quickly add up and often times leave the injured and their family scrambling to keep up financially.
A brain injury victim’s ability to advocate for him or herself is important part of recovery and rehabilitation that can impact quality of life and overall health. Teaching basic self-care and activities of daily living skills is an important component in a comprehensive rehabilitation program for traumatic brain injury patients. This medical treatment can not be sacrificed because of financial restraints.
If an individual is in an accident and had any head impact, it is important to see a doctor and monitor any brain injury symptoms. It is also important to contact an experience traumatic brain injury attorney to discuss the accident and prepare for the worst in terms of the injury. If the injury becomes serious, months or even years later, an experienced brain injury attorney will be able to identify the symptoms, send the individual to specialized doctors trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of brain injury, including concussions and second impact syndrome, and pursue adequate compensation for not only the medical expenses including rehabilitation costs, but also compensation for future medication and life changing needs.
