Concussions in Michigan
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The word can make it sound minor, but a concussion changes how the brain works and can affect nearly every part of daily life. Symptoms may appear right away or surface hours and days later, and for some people they last weeks, months, or longer. When a concussion results from someone's carelessness, Michigan law gives you the right to hold that person or company accountable.
A concussion you cannot see on a scan is still a real injury. Our job is to make it visible: in the medical record, and in the courtroom.
Concussion symptoms we see
Concussion symptoms are often invisible to others, which is exactly why they are so easy for an insurer to dismiss. They commonly fall into three groups:
When these symptoms do not go away, the injury may have become post-concussion syndrome, a longer-lasting condition that deserves its own careful documentation.
Common causes of concussions
We handle concussions that arise from a wide range of negligence, including car accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, sports and recreational injuries, and workplace incidents. However the trauma happened, the priority is the same: prove what occurred and connect it to the harm you are living with.
Why insurers minimize concussions
Because a concussion usually does not appear on a standard CT scan or MRI, insurance companies routinely argue that the injury is not real or not serious. That tactic is why proof matters so much.
