Concussions Resulting From an Accident: Things to Know.

Suffering a concussion due to an accident can be a life-altering experience. Concussions, often referred to as mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs), occur when a blow to the head or body causes the brain to move rapidly back and forth within the skull. This sudden movement can lead to chemical changes in the brain and sometimes result in temporary or permanent neurological disturbances.

In the aftermath of an accident, recognizing the signs and symptoms of a concussion is crucial for seeking appropriate medical attention and legal recourse.
