Concussions
Many times, those involved in contact sports or jobs that pose the danger of falling or falling objects are at risk of suffering a concussion injury. A concussion is a form of mild head trauma that, while not life-threatening, may cause permanent disability to its victim. Concussions are typically caused by heavy blows to the head, such as those resulting from an automobile accident or a collision during a football game.
If you or someone you know has suffered an injury that led to a concussion, it is important to get proper medical care. If the injury was the result of someone else’s negligence, you may be able to claim damages.

Symptoms of Concussions
Those who have suffered concussion injuries typically will not lose consciousness, so they should be able to describe their symptoms to those nearby. Common warning signs of a concussion include the following symptoms:
- Headache
- Blurred vision
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Confusion
- Short-term memory loss
- Ringing in the ears
- Dizziness
- Inability to balance properly
Concussions, while not typically dangerous to their victims, may be problematic if they are sustained on a frequent basis. Those who suffer multiple concussions can experience future mental or physical disabilities. In serious cases, multiple concussions may even lead to death.
