Concussions: A Common Yet Potentially Serious Injury
At The Law Office of Robert H. Kleinschmidt, P.C., in Scottsdale, our lawyer works hard to help injured accident victims recover the full and fair compensation they deserve.
Why All Concussions Should Be Taken Seriously
Concussions are actually a type of traumatic brain injury. Severe concussions can potentially lead to long-term brain damage (known as post-concussion syndrome). Those that go overlooked or untreated can also result in complications.
The symptoms of a concussion can range from confusion, nausea and vomiting to long-term memory loss, personality changes and difficulty concentrating. The most severe concussions — ranked as grade 3 — involve temporary loss of consciousness. Whenever signs of a concussion appear after an accident, it’s critical to seek prompt evaluation and treatment.
Concussions In Children: An Even Greater Danger
The developing brains of children and infants are especially susceptible to damage from concussions. The symptoms are also more likely to go overlooked in young children who can’t articulate what’s wrong.
When a child sustains a traumatic brain injury so young in life, the future may be uncertain. He or she may struggle with cognitive difficulties, developmental delays or impaired motor skills. Read more about caring for a child with special health needs.
