PROUDLY FEATURED ON

Many people think that they will never get a concussion because of the common assumption that this type of injury mainly occurs to those who play high-impact sports. But that is far from the truth. In reality, anyone of any age or occupation can get a concussion from a car or workplace accident, a bad fall, or being struck in the head with an object. This can result in serious health problems. Because of this, it is important that everyone understands what a concussion is, what symptoms this type of injury can cause, how dangerous it can be if it goes untreated, and when to hire a concussion attorney.

What is a Concussion?


A concussion is an injury to the brain that results in inflammation, swelling, and bruising. This might not seem possible because the brain is protected by a thick skull and a layer of liquid. But if a person’s head is hit hard enough, or jostled violently, the brain can hit the inside of the skull and sustain damage.

What Are the Symptoms of a Concussion?

The symptoms of a concussion often begin immediately after the injury. That is why it is critical to contact a concussion attorney right away. Most people who have had this type of head trauma report that they suddenly “see stars,” which is essentially a flash of light behind the eyes. The flash of light only happens for a split second though. Then, depending on the force of the impact that was received, a person may become unconscious.

It is important to mention that some people stay completely awake when it happens to them though. Afterwards, it is common for people to become nauseated or vomit. But the most important telltale sign to look out for is the pupils being two different sizes. One will be very small. And the other will be disproportionately larger. Also, the entire head will hurt very badly, and the person will feel weak and confused.

How Dangerous is a Concussion?

The symptoms of a concussion don’t disappear overnight. They can last for months or years, especially if the force of the impact was severe. A person can develop long-term memory problems, confusion, weakness, and migraines. If they have previously had one or more concussions, any new head trauma can result in a hematoma, which is a pool of blood inside the skull that is life-threatening. The hematoma puts added pressure against the brain because the narrow confines of the skull don’t allow for much leeway. This is dangerous because it could result in sudden death if the pressure isn’t relieved in time. Sometimes, a person doesn’t have to have a previous concussion for a hematoma to occur though, especially if they are a small child. A severe blow to the head in an infant or toddler could potentially kill them on impact because their skull is still soft, and it hasn’t fully developed yet.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Ivonne K.

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
