A concussion
is a brain injury that has traumatically induced
an alteration in mental status by causing the
brain to bounce against the bone of the skull
with a force that may cause tearing or twisting.
Concussions can be experienced either with or
without a loss of consciousness. A concussion
is the mildest form of a head injury and a very
frequent cause of hospital visits. Every year
there are an estimated 600,000 cases of concussions
in the U.S. Concussions leading to death while
playing sports are experienced the most frequently
than any other type of sports injury.
The most
common cause of a concussion is a blow to the
head, often caused by a motor vehicle crash, a
fall, or an assault. There are several different
concussion categories, ranging from grade one
to grade three. The mildest concussion, or a grade
one concussion, occurs without a loss of consciousness.
In a grade two concussion the severity of the
head injury has increased from a grade one concussion,
putting the injured individual in a state of confusion
and the individual cannot recall the event. Most
severe is the grade three concussion, which involves
a loss of consciousness and loss of memory of
the event.
There
are certain signs and symptoms of a concussion.
If you are experiencing a severe headache, dizziness,
vomiting, sudden weakness in an arm or leg, restlessness,
or irritability and this follows an accident that
involved your head this may be a sign that you
endured a concussion and should be followed by
a visit to your physician. Memory loss or forgetfulness
is a common symptom of concussions. Concussions
can be the result of a personal injury, and an
attorney can help concussion personal injury victims.
