New Jersey Concussion Attorneys

A concussion can occur with little warning, leaving a person in a state of confusion and disorientation. In some cases, these injuries may be signs of a more serious brain injury. A person should seek medical treatment for these injuries to screen for any further injuries and assess the extent of the harm done. Troublingly, concussions have been linked to a variety of lasting complications and more severe adverse health effects, despite the perception that they may be somewhat minor injuries.

If you have sustained a concussion because of another person’s negligence, you may wish consider legal action against the responsible party. To learn more about your legal rights and options, contact the New Jersey concussion lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 800-346-5529.

What Are the Symptoms of a Concussion?

When a person is struck in the head or slips and hits their head, their brain can sustain serious harm as it moves within the skull. These injuries can damage the brain generally to a repairable degree, allowing concussed brains to recover over time with little treatment, though there have been many cases in which one who has suffered a concussion has later developed severer, potentially fatal health conditions which appear to be related.

The following symptoms can be commonly seen as a result of a concussion:

  • Confusion
  • Emotional distress
  • Dizziness
  • Headache
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Loss of coordination
  • Double vision
  • Blurry or unfocused vision
  • A ringing sound in the ears

Concussions, without other head injuries, should go away over time. However, a person should still have their condition monitored by a medical professional to rule out the possibility of more serious conditions.
