Post-Concussion Syndrome Lawyer in Los Angeles

Your Legal Options After Suffering a Concussion

Post-concussive syndrome, or post-concussion syndrome, is one of the least understood aspects of mild traumatic brain injuries. This condition most often occurs in individuals who suffer a mild closed-head trauma in a motor vehicle accident, hit their head in a slip and fall, or get into some other minor mishap. Biren Law Group's personal injury attorneys have focused on handling brain injury cases for more than three decades. We are well-versed in all types of injuries, including post-concussive syndrome, and can use our knowledge to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Types of Symptoms to Look Out For

If you were diagnosed with a concussion and are still experiencing symptoms weeks later, you are likely suffering from post-concussive syndrome (PCS). In most cases, the symptoms of a concussion ease as the brain heals. Other times, the symptoms can persist for weeks or months afterward. This condition is called post-concussion syndrome.

Common symptoms of post-concussive syndrome include:

• Headache
• Memory loss
• Difficulty multi-tasking
• Anxiety
• Irritability
• Trouble sleeping
• Difficulty concentrating
• Fatigue

Symptoms of a concussion usually resolve within 3-6 months. Other times, however, these symptoms can last much longer; even for life. Only lawyers experienced in handling these cases know how to persuade juries that these symptoms are residual effects of a mild closed-head injury and, therefore, the victim is entitled to compensation for them.

Ensuring You Obtain a Proper Diagnosis

Post-concussion syndrome can be frustrating for accident victims because the symptoms will often cause difficulty with work and basic day-to-day activities, but the condition can be difficult to diagnose. The symptoms are often vague and can be caused by other conditions, and there is no single test to detect the syndrome. Doctors diagnose the condition based largely on having a history of head injury and other symptoms and a physical exam.
