Your accident may have been weeks or months ago, but something still is not right. You may be experiencing short-term memory loss, loss of concentration, or severe headaches. Your concussion may be healed, but the long-term effects of post-concussive syndrome can last for years.

How do we win a brain injury lawsuit for post-concussion syndrome?
A concussion results from an immediate blunt-force impact to the head. Often they occur in car accidents when your head suddenly flies forward against the steering wheel or sideways against the door frame. Concussions can also be caused by a sudden fall or from being hit on the head by a falling object. Immediate symptoms include loss of consciousness, a long-lasting headache, blurred vision, short-term memory loss and a general sense of fatigue.
Proving that a concussion resulted in long-term damage will require extensive investigation about the victim's personality prior to the accident. It means backtracking to get to know the personality traits and physical and cognitive capabilities of the victim. It also means having experience and knowledge of the latest neuropsychological testing methods.
Shea & Shea works with neurosurgeons and brain injury medical experts across the nation to investigate and prepare the strongest case possible for full and fair compensation. Preparing a winning case requires upfront expenses and expertise that less experienced litigation firms don't have. We handle all expenses and costs associated with investigating and preparing your case. If we don't help you recover full and fair money damages, you will not pay attorney's fees to our firm.
