When people hear the term “traumatic brain injury” (TBI), they often think of severe head trauma resulting in long-term disabilities. However, not all TBIs are catastrophic. A concussion, often perceived as a minor injury, is indeed a form of TBI. Understanding the nature and implications of concussions is crucial, especially when dealing with personal injury cases. At Ryan Orsatti Law, we specialize in representing clients who have suffered TBIs, including concussions, due to someone else’s negligence.
What is a Concussion?
A concussion is a type of TBI caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This sudden movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull, creating chemical changes in the brain and sometimes damaging brain cells. CDC on Concussions
