Serious Concussion Injury

At one point or another we’ve all done it. An individual will be working under a desk or carefully moving through a low space when they’ll lift their head just a little too soon or too quickly. A little bump to the here and there isn’t too big of a deal. Sometimes an injury could be more severe. Severe enough to cause lifelong complications or even death.

If you or someone you love have suffered a concussion due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact a workers’ compensation attorney in your local today!

A concussion is classified as a minor brain injury. Concussions are caused by a fall or a hit to the head resulting in the brain shaking within the skull. Victims can suffer temporary symptoms such as dizziness, disorientation, paranoia and confusion. Most of these symptoms can easily be treated at a hospital. However, some symptoms can be far more serious.

Common causes for concussions are:

  • Slip and fall at work
  • Slip and fall at home
  • Sports accidents
  • Car accidents
  • Playing on faulty playground equipment
  • A blow to the head from shoddy constructions
  • Violent assault

Concussions are very common injuries. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, there are about 3.8 million sports related concussions per year. That’s sports alone. Concussions are also very common in the workplace. Thousands of claims are filed for this injury in the workplace per year. Many concussions can be avoided by simply taking precautions. In case this doesn’t work, someone else may be liable for your concussion. A victim could lose a significant amount of work time while recovering from a concussion and the hospital bills associated with this kind of injury could reach up to $10,000 in some cases.

Laws surrounding filing a case for personal injury vary from state to state. Some states have a statute of limitations for filing a case. This makes it imperative to contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

If you or someone you love has suffered a concussion due to someone else’s negligence, contact a workers’ compensation lawyer in your local area today!


Did you Know?
Concussion deaths are very uncommon, amounting to only about 19% of concussion victims.
