When Only Complete Compensation Will Do

A concussion is caused when the brain rocks enough to hit the inner wall of the skull. Although concussion injuries are represented in the media as something to “rest off,” the truth is that a concussion is a form of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and all brain injuries have the potential to cause significant health complications and long-lasting problems. 

If you have suffered a concussion that was not your fault, you might be able to file a claim for compensation against the party that hurt you. Fowler | Helsel | Vogt would like to help.

Symptoms of a Concussion

Concussions can be highly problematic because they are not always immediately noticeable. Many people who suffer a concussion just think they are sore or need some rest, unaware that their brain has been injured. The longer a concussion goes undiagnosed and untreated, the greater potential it has to worsen into an even more serious brain injury.

If you were recently in an accident, and you hit your head or were rocked around, then you should see a doctor as soon as possible for a diagnosis. You could have an undiagnosed concussion, especially if you have been experiencing concerning symptoms.

Concussion symptoms typically include:

  • Headache or migraine
  • Blurry vision
  • Mind fog or general confusion
  • Balance issues
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Temporary memory loss
  • Tinnitus or ringing ears
  • Sharp pain when moving the neck

Please arrange to be taken to a medical clinic as soon as possible if you have any of these symptoms. If you are experiencing severe symptoms or lapses of unconsciousness, then you should call 911.

    Concussion Treatments & Costs

    Some concussions can be treated with in-home self-care, like bed rest and the removal of stimuli such as movies and smartphones. When a concussion is severe, a victim might require short-term hospitalization for monitoring and specialized care techniques. Concussions can also last for months, meaning you could be dealing with concussion symptoms long after your accident. For long-lasting concussions, unique forms of rehabilitative therapy can help.

    For cases other than those that require only in-home self-care, concussion injury treatments can get expensive. Lengthy rehabilitative therapy in particular can easily exceed an average health insurance cap.
