A personal injury lawyer regularly handles concussion cases.A concussion can by caused many ways. For example, a concussion can come from a motor vehicle crash, a fall, or other accident. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), defines concussion as a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI). In many cases, it is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head.
