Concussions and Injury Claims in San Francisco

A concussion is a brain injury that occurs when an external force impacts the head. There are a variety of levels of severity for concussions, with mild injuries often leaving victims feeling dazed or losing consciousness momentarily. Serious concussions can include much longer loss of consciousness with a n extensive recovery time , or long term or permanent brain damage. Concussions can be caused by a number of different incidents including car accidents , high-impact hits in contact sports, or blunt-force trauma from an external object striking the head.

Concussions differ in severity, and it can be very difficult to treat this type of head injury due to the fact that symptoms may differ depending on the specific incident and victim.

The effects of a concussion can be short-term, or can have lasting effects with no specific time frame for recovery. Medical professionals in the field of brain injuries acknowledge that the final outcome of a serious concussion is unknown, as it can vary so widely from victim to victim.
