Post-concussion syndrome, a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by an impact to the head, may not be identified without expert medical attention following an accident. A Clayton County brain injury lawyer at the Law Office of Shane Smith can pursue a Georgia personal injury claim.
Most TBI claims are concussion-related; such injuries can range from mild to severe. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1.4 million people sustain a concussion each year.

According to the NCAA Injury Surveillance Center, approximately 10 percent of college football players sustain brain injuries. The growing awareness of the long-term impact of traumatic brain injuries has led the NCAA Football Rules Committee to protect players by penalizing helmet-on-helmet tackles and targeting. Additionally, every football program must have a concussion-management plan which includes monitoring, testing, and rest. Equipment manufacturers have also developed high-impact helmets to offset concussion triggers and stabilize rapid head jerking.
Mild TBI symptoms can include:
- Headaches
- Dizziness or loss of balance
- Loss of consciousness
- Depression, anger, or personality alterations
- Difficulty concentrating
- Short-term memory loss, forgetfulness, and/or attention deficits
- Impaired sight
- Impaired judgment
- Speech and/or communication problems
- Difficulty swallowing or chewing
- Sleep disorders
