This page will look at the settlement value of concussions in auto accident lawsuits.

The sudden force of an impact experienced during vehicle collisions can cause drivers and occupants to suffer concussion injuries. When an accident happens, anyone inside the care will experience a very strong and abrupt head movement caused by impact force. This sudden and forceful movement is what results in concussions as it causes the brain to strike the inside of the skull. Accident scenarios which commonly result in concussions include:

  • Direct Impact: Direct impact occurs when the head of a driver or passenger strikes part of the car’s interior during the accident, such as the steering wheel, dashboard, window, etc. When the head has a direct impact during an accident it tends to cause more serious concussions, as well as visible external injuries to the head.
