Understanding Concussion Treatment After Car Accident
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) caused by a blow or violent shaking of the head. In car accidents, concussions can occur even without direct head impact — the sudden acceleration-deceleration forces of a collision can cause the brain to move within the skull. Concussions are frequently underdiagnosed after accidents because symptoms may be subtle or delayed. Chiropractic evaluation plays a crucial role in identifying cervicogenic symptoms that overlap with concussion and ensuring comprehensive treatment and documentation.

Ohio Law & Your Concussion/TBI Claim
Ohio is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who caused the accident (or their insurance company) is responsible for paying your medical expenses and other damages. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Ohio is 2 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. Ohio uses a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in Ohio and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.

Yes. The rapid acceleration-deceleration forces in a car accident can cause your brain to move within the skull, resulting in a concussion even without direct head impact. This is the same mechanism that causes whiplash — the forces are simply transmitted to the brain.
Concussion symptoms can appear immediately or be delayed by hours or even days. Some symptoms like cognitive difficulties, mood changes, and sleep disruption may not become apparent until you return to normal daily activities.
Documented concussions significantly increase case value because they demonstrate brain injury, which courts and insurance companies take very seriously. Proper medical documentation of concussion symptoms, cognitive testing, and treatment progression is essential.
