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 recover damages.
