A post-concussion syndrome injury frequently arises from trauma, such as a car accident, motorcycle accident, slip and fall accident, bicycle accident, or recreational injury. Depending on the cause of the injury, the injured person may have legal rights to be compensated for their injury, including money damages for pain and suffering, disability, medical bills, and lost wages.
Post-concussion syndrome, also known as postconcussive syndrome or PCS, is a set of symptoms that a person may experience for weeks, months, or even years after a concussion, a mild form of traumatic brain injury.
People who have had concussions may experience physical, mental, or emotional symptoms. Symptoms can appear immediately or weeks to months after the initial injury. Physical symptoms can include seizures, headache, dizziness, impaired balance, nausea and/or vomiting, fatigue or sleepiness, inability to sleep, decreased libido, sensitivity to noise or light, ringing in the ears, double or blurred vision, and decreased sense of taste, smell, or hearing.
Emotional symptoms may include irritability, anxiety, restlessness, depression, lack of emotion, emotional lability or mood swings, lack of ability to tolerate stress or alcohol, and aggression.
Cognitive or mental symptoms can include amnesia or difficulty remembering things, confusion or impaired cognition, impaired judgment, slowed cognitive processing, difficulty with abstract thinking, difficulty concentrating, decrease in work performance, and decrease in social skills.
Patients who have suffered a head injury must be examined by emergency medical care providers to ensure that the head injury is not worse than a concussion and potentially life threatening. Thus, head injury patients with symptoms that may indicate a dangerous injury are given CT scans or MRIs and are observed by medical staff. Later, the patient may be tested to determine his or her level of cognitive functioning.
