Retaining a Hackensack Concussion Lawyer After a Crash

Car crashes and trucking crashes happen when tons of steel bang into each other. Inside the vehicles are people whose bodies shake around from the impact. Inside their bodies is a brain that shakes inside the skull. 

That movement can cause a concussion which is a serious injury when it does not resolve.

A concussion is a mild form of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The word “mild” is used because the brain injury is not life threatening. But medical doctors know that a concussion injury is a serious injury.

I Don’t Think I Blacked Out but My Head Doesn’t Feel Right after the Crash

The brain sits inside the skull. When the head is hit or suddenly shakes, the brain rattles inside the skull. Some people black out and lose consciousness, some people do not lose consciousness, and some people don’t know if they lost consciousness.

Most concussions do not cause a blackout. However, you can easily suffer a concussion from a crash. Sometimes, it is only weeks or months later that you realize that you have been suffering from cognitive issues since the crash – did you spend most of the week after the crash in your room with the blinds closed during the day and telling people not to bother you— did you try to go to work that one day but had to go home because you were overwhelmed.

What is the Brain and Why it Matters with a Hackensack Car Crash and Hackensack Truck Wreck?

People have more than 6,000 thoughts in a single day. Think of how you react when you see someone walking down the street who looks familiar. Do you say something? Why not? Do you look again or look away? Did a feeling of embarrassment just get activated by another part of the brain? Or did you absolutely recognize the person, say just the right thing, and move on— thank you, brain!

Many injury lawyers only focus on the physical injuries caused in crashes. However, courts are now starting to put fair value on concussions and post-concussion syndrome injuries in lawsuits. That is why it is important to hire a New Jersey brain injury lawyer who has experience litigating cases. 

Treatment & Cure of a Concussion after a Hackensack Car Crash

Not all brain injuries show up on a scan of the brain. Concussions are usually diagnosed based on the complaints of the patient. If you are reading this, you might be a family member or trusted friend of someone who is suffering from post-concussion syndrome and who has not been the same since the crash. It is important to discuss having a consultation with a brain injury lawyer so that we can help maximize the money that will be available down the road to care for your friend or family member. 

Remember, all personal injury lawsuits, including ones that deal with T.B.I., concussions, brain injury, etc. have a timeline around them— a set deadline by the court in which you must file your lawsuit. Don’t delay consulting with a New Jersey concussion lawyer and New Jersey brain injury lawyer.
