Post-Concussion Syndrome Won't Go Away?

When concussion symptoms persist for weeks, months, or even years after a work injury, you may have post-concussion syndrome. This is a serious condition that requires specialized medical care - and aggressive legal representation.

Warning Sign

If you're still experiencing concussion symptoms more than 2-3 weeks after your work injury, you may have post-concussion syndrome. Don't let insurance companies tell you it's 'just a concussion' or that you should be better by now. PCS is a recognized medical condition that may require extensive treatment and could prevent you from ever returning to your previous work.

Understanding Post-Concussion Syndrome from Work Injuries

Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) occurs when concussion symptoms don't resolve within the expected timeframe. While most concussions heal within weeks, PCS sufferers experience persistent symptoms that can last months or years. Insurance companies often dispute PCS claims because CT scans and MRIs typically appear normal. You need a Certified Workers' Comp Specialist who understands how to prove these invisible injuries.

You May Have TWO Claims

If someone other than your employer caused or contributed to your brain injury, you may have both a workers' compensation claim AND a separate personal injury lawsuit. This "two claims" strategy can significantly increase your total recovery.
