Causes of Concussion Injuries
By far, the leading cause of concussion injuries are a result of auto accidents. Concussions are often caused by a sudden blow to the head due to collisions. Imagine you are traveling at 50 miles per hour and are struck by another vehicle stopping your car dead in its tracks. As a result, your brain continues to travel 50 miles per hour squishing into your skull. This type of accident is tough to avoid and typically happens in an instant, often resulting in brain trauma.
Although the skull, cerebral spinal fluid, and blood brain barrier are meant to protect the brain against daily bumps and jolts, it is not equipped to handle the forceful blow associated with an automobile accident.
Some common causes of concussion injuries include:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Slip and falls
- Sports injuries
- Bicycle accidents
- ATV accidents
If you or a loved one has been involved in an automobile accident and is experiencing concussion like symptoms, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other costs associated with the accident. Phillips Law Group believes that when the negligence of another individual causes injury or harm to an innocent person, that individual must pay for the damages they have caused.

I would like to thank Vanessa Rodriguez for helping me with my case because I was in total shock about the accident. She had listened to all my concerns and had answered every question I had . She was great !!!

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.
