Hands down the best law office!! Jeff was very honest from the start, and he worked hard to get me the best settlement possible. I was VERY fortunate to be given their name for my vehicle accident. I already had an attorney, but things didn’t sit right, and that’s when I was told about The Sevey Law Firm. Jeff handled my case beyond my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the end results of my case. He and Nancy provided immediate attention and responded to my every concern. Nancy was such a breath of fresh air, and she made me feel special. They were a blessing handed to me when I thought things were hopeless.

If you’re struggling with memory problems, persistent headaches, difficulty concentrating, or sudden mood changes after an accident, you’re not imagining these symptoms.

At the Sevey Law Firm, we understand the frustrating reality of living with an “invisible” injury. You may feel fine one moment and completely overwhelmed the next. Simple tasks that once came naturally now feel impossible. These experiences are valid, and they often indicate a traumatic brain injury that deserves proper medical attention and legal protection.

What Settlement Can a Concussion Case Recover?
Every concussion case is different. However, you can rest assured that our legal team fights tirelessly to recover the maximum compensation possible for your situation. In general, a concussion settlement may cover:
Medical expenses: This includes emergency room visits, diagnostic tests, medications, therapy sessions, and any future medical care related to your concussion.
Lost wages: If your concussion has caused you to miss work or has affected your ability to perform your job, you may be entitled to compensation for lost income.
Pain and suffering: Concussions can lead to emotional problems, mental stress, and decreased quality of life. While these damages are more difficult to quantify, they are just as real and deserving of compensation.
Long-Term Impacts of Concussions
Many people believe that concussions are minor injuries with temporary effects. This is a dangerous misconception. While some concussion victims do recover, others experience long-term or even permanent symptoms. These can include
- Chronic headaches or migraines
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering
- Mood swings, depression, and anxiety
- Sleep disturbances
- Sensitivity to light and noise
Concussion Syndrome
Post-concussion syndrome is a disorder in which headaches and dizziness last for weeks and sometimes months after the injury that caused the concussion. The severity of the concussion does not determine the likelihood of post-concussion syndrome. In fact, the risk of this syndrome does not appear to be associated with the severity of the initial injury.
Living with post-concussion syndrome can be incredibly challenging. The symptoms can be debilitating, and the emotional toll can be equally severe. Many people with post-concussion syndrome feel misunderstood or dismissed because their injury isn’t visible.
Symptoms That Might Mean You Have a Concussion
Some of the most common symptoms of a concussion include, but are not limited to:
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Impaired balance
- Confusion
- Memory loss
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sensitivity to light
- Taste and smell disorders
- Sleep disturbances
Concussion symptoms are not always immediate. Some people may not experience symptoms for several hours or even days.

The Legal Process for Concussion Cases
Step 1: Seek Medical Attention
If you’ve been in an accident and are experiencing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, confusion, or memory problems, see a doctor immediately. Even if symptoms seem harmless, they could indicate a serious brain injury. Plus, medical records are key evidence in personal injury cases.
Step 2: Consult a Concussion Injury Lawyer
Schedule a free consultation with a concussion injury lawyer at The Sevey Law Firm. We’ll review your case, answer your questions, and explain your legal options. There’s no obligation to hire us after this meeting – it’s an opportunity for you to get informed.
Step 3: Investigation and Evidence Gathering
If you decide to move forward with us, we will investigate your accident, review police reports, interview witnesses, consult medical experts, and gather evidence that supports your claim.
Step 4: Negotiation with the Insurance Company
Once we’ve built a strong case on your behalf, we’ll enter into negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance company. Our goal is to secure a settlement that fairly compensates you for injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, suffering, and future costs related to your concussion.
Step 5: Filing a Lawsuit (if necessary)
If the insurance company chooses not to offer a fair settlement, we’re ready to file a lawsuit on your behalf and take your case to court. While most personal injury cases settle out of court, our team has extensive trial experience and isn’t afraid to fight for your rights in front of a judge and jury.
Why You Need a Concussion Injury Lawyer
If you’ve suffered a concussion due to someone else’s negligence, you might be tempted to handle the legal process on your own.
However, personal injury law is complex and often confusing for those without legal training. Insurance companies may try to discredit your injuries or pressure you into accepting a lowball settlement. Here’s where a concussion injury lawyer can make all the difference:
- Our attorneys have decades of experience in personal injury law. We understand how to build a strong case that demonstrates the other party’s liability and the full extent of your damages.
- Our team is skilled at negotiating with insurance companies. We won’t let them pressure you into accepting less than you deserve.
- If a fair settlement can’t be reached, we’re prepared to take your case to court. We have a track record of substantial verdicts for our clients.
At The Sevey Law Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you won’t owe us anything unless we recover compensation for you. It’s just one more way we strive to make the legal process as stress-free as possible for our clients. Contact us today for a free consultation.
