Advocates Law Group, PLLC is experienced in helping people with brain injuries ranging from mild concussions to Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). While not always obvious, head injuries are some of the most devastating injuries an individual can suffer. It is very important to hire an attorney who understands the complexities of the brain trauma medical diagnoses and prognosis and how to build a case so the victim can receive maximum compensation for current and future care.
Oddly enough, many times victims of brain injuries do not even know that they have suffered an injury. It may be more obvious to those on the scene of an accident or those close to the victim (i.e. spouses, children, friends and co-workers). It’s not uncommon for doctors fail to diagnose head injuries because they are unable to observe the subtle symptoms necessary for a diagnosis. Brain injury symptoms are worsened when the victim does not seek or receive medical attention. Symptoms can take hours, days or even weeks to show up after an accident occurs. An undiagnosed head injury can delay and in some severe cases can prevent recovery.

Concussions
A concussion can also cause epilepsy and increase the risk for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other brain disorders. Repeated concussions occurring over an extended period of time can result in cumulative neurological and cognitive deficits. Repeated concussions occurring within a short period of time (i.e., hours, days, or weeks) can be catastrophic or fatal.
Post-concussion syndrome is a complex disorder of concussion symptoms that last longer than a normal recovery period. While it is unclear why some people develop post-concussion syndrome and others don't, the severity of the concussion doesn't appear to affect the risk of post-concussion syndrome. Research indicates that suffering repeat concussions increases the risk of post-concussion syndrome.
In addition, having a concussion puts children at higher risk of having another concussion and the effects of repeat concussions over years can multiply.
