If you have suffered a concussion after a Texas accident, you probably have a lot of questions – and you may be wondering if you need a lawyer to help you with your case. As your doctor may have told you, concussions range in severity from mild to severe. For a mild concussion, you may not need legal help, as any compensation you receive will be relatively small.
However, if you have suffered a moderate or severe head injury that caused a concussion, the results can be devastating and long-lasting. In this case, you should at the very least seek the advice of a board certified personal injury attorney. Why? Serious injury cases often mean big bucks – and these are the cases that insurance companies will fight the hardest against.
Remember: Before you sign any insurance company paperwork or give a recorded statement, consult an attorney. The free advice you receive could prevent you from ruining your injury case!
Concussions can be serious because often accident victims do not realize that they have been hurt. It can take time for symptoms to show up, and even severe concussions can be difficult to pin down. Because of the difficulty in spotting and diagnosing a concussion, the insurance company may claim that you did not sustain the concussion in the accident – they may say that it happened after, in some other situation – and they are not responsible for it. A skilled, aggressive injury lawyer will make sure that your case does not fall victim to this trick.
Another factor that comes into play for concussion victims is their long-term prognosis. Because there is so much that doctors do not know or completely understand about the brain, it can be difficult for anyone to determine what the future holds.
Concussion victims can suffer from “postconcussion syndrome”. This is a condition that is not understood very well, and means that concussion symptoms last for longer than they should – for no clear reason. If you suffer from this complication, you could be unable to work or do much at all for your family until the symptoms subside. Your life could be seriously affected – and who knows for how long.
It is also important to take into account the future complications a concussion victim may suffer. Studies have found that once you have had a concussion, you double your risk of developing epilepsy within five years after you are injured. If you suffer from more than one concussion, you are also at a greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s or other neurological conditions.
