Concussion
Concussion is the most common type of traumatic brain injury (TBI). A concussion is a short loss of awareness or consciousness in response to a head injury. The injured person may not black out but may merely feel dazed. Most concussions are mild, but some can have serious, lasting side effects.

Traffic Accident Concussion
Most concussions happen during traffic accidents. You may have suffered a concussion while driving a car, motorcycle or bike. You may also have been run into while walking in a pedestrian crossing or on the side of the road.

Slip and Fall Concussion
For people over 75 and very young children, falls are the most common cause of concussion. Some falls are due to the negligence of another, for example, a fall on a store’s slippery floor or icy sidewalk. If you have fallen and hit your head, you may have suffered a concussion or more serious head injury.
