Is a Concussion and a Traumatic Brain Injury the Same Thing?

 

A: A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury*.  Sometimes a concussion is referred to as a mild traumatic brain injury.  While concussions may be less severe than other types of brain injuries, they commonly result from slip and fall accidents and must be taken seriously. 

If you have hit your head, such as in a New York or New Jersey slip and fall accident,then it is important to seek prompt medical attention.  Your doctor will evaluate your injury, conduct tests and recommend the appropriate treatment.  It is important to follow the treatment plan to increase your chances of recovery.

A concussion can require ongoing and expensive medical treatment, lost time from work and pain and suffering.  If you have suffered a concussion after a New Jersey or New York slip and fall accident, then you may be entitled to damages.  Please contact an experienced New Jersey or New York slip and fall accident lawyer for more information about your rights and potential recovery by calling 1-800-362-9329.
