Insurance companies love the word "mild." They use it to minimize your injury and your claim. But there's nothing mild about chronic headaches, cognitive fog, and a life turned upside down. We fight back.
Medical professionals classify TBIs by initial presentation—loss of consciousness, confusion, and imaging findings. A "mild" TBI (mTBI) simply means you didn't have prolonged unconsciousness or obvious brain bleeding at the time of injury. It says nothing about how severely the injury will affect your life.
The research is clear: even a single concussion can cause permanent changes to brain structure and function. Studies show 15-30% of mTBI patients have symptoms lasting more than a year. Some never fully recover.

When concussion symptoms persist beyond the expected recovery period (typically 2-4 weeks), doctors diagnose post-concussion syndrome. PCS can severely disrupt your life:
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize concussion claims. Here are their favorite tactics—and how we counter them:
Our Response: Concussions are diagnosed clinically, not radiologically. Normal CT/MRI is expected in mTBI. We use neuropsychological testing and advanced imaging (DTI) to prove brain dysfunction.
Our Response: Symptom journals, before/after witness statements, and objective neuropsychological testing document ongoing impairment. We build a case that's impossible to dismiss.
Our Response: We establish clear timelines showing symptom onset correlating with the accident. Pre-accident records prove you had no prior issues. Expert neurologists confirm causation.
Our Response: Medical literature extensively documents PCS lasting months to years. We cite peer-reviewed studies and present expert testimony on long-term mTBI outcomes.
Concussion claims require meticulous documentation and the right experts. Our approach:
We ensure you see providers who understand TBI. Emergency room visits are often inadequate—we connect you with neurologists who thoroughly document initial injury.
We provide guidance on keeping detailed symptom journals. Daily logs of headaches, cognitive difficulties, and emotional episodes create powerful evidence of ongoing impact.
Comprehensive 4-8 hour cognitive testing by a neuropsychologist reveals deficits invisible on imaging. This objective data is gold in concussion cases.
We collect statements from family, friends, and coworkers documenting specific changes in your personality, memory, and functioning since the accident.
Neurologists, neuropsychologists, and vocational experts provide testimony connecting your concussion to lasting impairment and lost earning capacity.
Don't let insurance companies minimize your injury. We document the invisible damage and fight for full compensation for your 'mild' TBI.
