Brain Injury Is a Process Not an Event

Car Accident

The Defense Argues:

The Plaintiff was able to say

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm okay. I was wearing my seat belt," to various questions.

When he exchanged information:

"Look in my briefcase. There's my business card."

He knew where it was.

Understanding Subtle Brain Injury

Brain GraphicThe concussions that disable, are almost always more symptomatic at 24 hours, than at the 2-4 hour time frame when injured persons are evaluated in the emergency room. Brain injury symptoms escalate over the first 24 hours, because brain injury involves a cascade of events. It is critical that if you are still symptomatic the day after your injury, go back to the same Emergency Room, don’t wait for a doctors appointment. It is critical that the Emergency Room personnel see that the symptoms still persist or have gotten worse.
