Symptoms And Long-Term Effects Of Concussions.

A concussion happens when a blow to the head or body makes the brain move around quickly and suddenly inside the skull. This can damage the brain cells and disrupt communication between them. Some common symptoms of concussions include:

Memory loss or confusion
Dizziness or loss of balance
Headaches or nausea
Sleep disturbances or fatigue
Mood changes or irritability

Repeated head trauma may also contribute to a degenerative brain disease called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Further, concussions can have a lasting effect on an individual’s quality of life. This can lead to long-term consequences such as mood disorders, cognitive impairment and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Concussions can also increase the risk of developing conditions like Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease.

Concussions can have a significant impact on an individual’s ability to work, enjoy daily activities and maintain relationships. Victims may seek compensation for lost wages, medical costs, pain and suffering, and noneconomic damages. Our team will work to seek fair and just compensation for all your damages, including those that affect your quality of life.

How Do Concussions Happen in the Workplace?

Concussions can occur in the workplace due to various accidents or incidents. Among the common causes of workplace concussions are:

Falls from heights or ladders
Being struck by falling objects or equipment
Motor vehicle accidents while driving for work
Slips, trips or falls on the job site
Equipment malfunctions or explosions

Some of the workers at high risk of concussions are construction workers, machinists, drivers and athletes. However, traumatic brain injuries may occur in nearly any industry.
