Concussions and Brain Injuries: Michigan Brain Injury Lawyers
As a Michigan personal injury lawyer that specializes in brain injury cases, I often hear from parents who are concerned about a child that has suffered a concussion from a sports injury. This, of course, is much different than the traditional trauamatic brain injury case pursued by most lawyers, because those cases arise typically from car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and other types of traumas. However, there are a number of brain injuries that occur in both team sports and recreational sports.
A concussion is a brain injury that is caused by a bump or blow to the head. These are injuries that are not visible and often referred to as “closed head injuries” because there is no open wound or physical penetration the head. Many times, symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and nausea, may not be seen or noticed until days after the injury. Parents who notice these problems should seek medical attention for their child, even if the injured child “checked out okay” immediately after the blow or bump to the head.
The Center for Disease Control has produced “A Fact Sheet For Parents” that explains concussion injuries, the visible signs, the methods of prevention, and the actions to take when a concussion is suspected. My firm has handled brain injury cases arising from recreational sports on several occasions and most involve the negligence of another athlete or of a league in failing to take measures to prevent the brain injury. It is important to consult with an attorney who understands these issues in detail in order to achieve the best result for the child. I can be contacted to discuss a case by calling me at 1-800-606-1717 or through my firm web site at www.buckfirelaw.com
