Settlement values for concussions vary on a number of different factors, including the degree of impairment and complications related to the injury. For example, a settlement from a concussion that includes temporary short-term memory loss will typically be less than one that causes post-traumatic headaches or the cumulative effects of multiple brain injuries sustained in the crash. Rarely, some car accident victims also experience an unwarranted second concussion, which may be an indication of serious brain swelling. Compensation for concussion settlements will include economic and non-economic damages, which are typically lumped in a single settlement. In rare cases, punitive damages can be awarded. After your accident, you should also make sure to follow the instructions and medical recommendations of your doctor. If you fail to follow the doctor’s advice, your compensation could be reduced because you neglected to properly care for your injuries as instructed.
