Concussion Injuries In Toronto

A concussion is a variety of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, caused by an impact to the head or blow to the body that causes the head and brain to rock violently back and forth. These events can cause the brain to bounce or twist within the skull, which can prompt chemical changes and/or stretching or damaging of brain cells. Concussions are most commonly associated with sports – the Province of Ontario has laws aimed specifically at reducing concussions in youth sports, and professional sports leagues have taken significant steps to better protect their athletes. But a person can suffer a concussion anywhere, including in a motor vehicle accident or a slip and fall.

Because concussions are generally not life-threatening, they are sometimes referred to as “mild” traumatic brain injuries. However, just because a concussion victim is unlikely to die from their injuries doesn’t mean they shouldn’t contact an experienced concussion lawyer. Concussions can cause memory loss, severe headaches, nausea and vomiting, balance problems, discomfort caused by light or noise, concentration issues, and even mood, behaviour, or personality changes. Repeated concussions over a long period of time can cause significant behaviour disorders; multiple concussions over a short period can result in traumatic brain injury and can even cause death.
