A concussion or brain injury is one of the results of head trauma that typically occurs when the head is struck or the upper body is violently shaken. Since the concussion or other brain injury doesn\u2019t always have any outward, physical indicators, they can be difficult to diagnose and treat in a timely manner.<\/p>\n

Traumatic brain injuries can be categorized as either impacting the structure of the brain or the function of the brain. Head wounds, swelling or bruising can be readily apparent. Unfortunately, when the brain function is impacted, it is challenging to make an accurate and timely diagnosis. It is not uncommon for symptoms to emerge days or weeks after an accident.<\/p>\n
Commonly, the symptoms of a concussion can include:<\/p>\n
While an individual might recover fully from a concussion, the mental impairment might lead to emotional outbursts, job loss or other serious impacts.<\/p>\n
