Concussions in Sports

An excellent new video helps explain how to spot whether an athlete has suffered a concussion.  Concussions in sports, and especially football, have been a large part of health news lately.  Traumatic brain injury attorneys like me have been waiting for years for this focus to finally be placed.  I see all too often the consequences of failing to recognize concussion, and it is heartbreaking to know that many of these consequences, such as brain hemorrhaging, further neurological injury, and even coma or death, could have been prevented if proper evaluation had taken place after someone suffered a hard hit to the head.  I encourage everyone who has a connection to athletics, whether it be coaches, training staff, athletic trainers, parents, and student-athletes, to click on the following link.  What you learn may save a life.
