What is a concussion?
Steve Gerdes • April 29, 2025
This is a subtitle for your new post
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury. It is the physiological disruption of brain function caused by trauma that is manifested by at least one of the following:
- Any period of loss of consciousness;
- Any loss of memory for events immediately before or after the accident;
- Any alteration in mental state at the time of accident (e.g. feeling dazed, disoriented, or confused)
- Focal neurological deficit(s) that may or may not be transient.
A person does not have to hit his or her head or be hit by an object. The movement of the brain inside the skull, such as in a whiplash injury, may be sufficient to cause damage.
Why a lawyer with experience handling brain injury cases can make a difference.
