Concussions are a mild form of Traumatic Brain Injury or (m-TBI). Usually concussions result from bumps or blows to the head, but can also result from sudden jolts to the skull. Concussion injuries can be caused by car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, as well as slip and fall accidents, workplace incidents, falls from ladders, sports injuries and construction site accidents. Though concussions are diagnosed as only a Mild form of Traumatic Brain Injury more serious complications may arise in the future. Often concussion injuries can lead to Post Concussion Syndrome which includes persistent sign and symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury or more severe forms of brain injury. If you or a loved one has suffered a concussion or are experiencing post concussion syndrome due to an automobile accident or slip and fall contact our Los Angeles Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers. We will provide you with expert legal representation and determines whether you have a viable claim against those who caused your injuries.
