Mild brain injury is the most under-compensated injury in New York
A "mild" TBI can end a career. Insurers exploit the fact that CT scans are usually normal in concussion cases and argue there is no objective injury. Winning requires the right evidence in the right order: documented loss of consciousness or altered awareness at the scene, early symptom recording, neuropsychological testing, and where indicated advanced imaging such as DTI, plus lay witnesses who can describe the change in you.
How we prove a TBI
- EMS and emergency records noting Glasgow Coma Scale, confusion or amnesia.
- Neurology and neuropsychology evaluation with standardised testing.
- Vestibular, vision and cognitive therapy records showing functional deficits.
- Employer and academic records documenting decline in performance.
- Family and colleague testimony about personality, memory and temper changes.
- Life care plan and economist evidence for severe injuries.
Where these injuries come from
Car and truck crashes, pedestrian and cyclist impacts, construction falls and falling objects, stair falls, assaults, and birth or surgical hypoxia in malpractice cases.
Symptoms to document now
Headaches, light and noise sensitivity, sleep disruption, irritability, word-finding difficulty, short-term memory lapses, dizziness and difficulty with multitasking. Report these to a doctor even if they feel minor — a gap between the accident and the first mention of symptoms is the defence's best argument.

Describe your injury — brain injury situations
My CT scan was normal but I still have memory problems and headaches.
Mild traumatic brain injury frequently does not appear on CT. Neuropsychological testing, DTI imaging, and treating-provider records document it. A normal CT is not a defense.
I never lost consciousness.
Loss of consciousness is not required for a concussion or TBI diagnosis under current medical standards, and not required to meet the serious injury threshold.
My family says I have changed since the accident.
Personality, mood, and executive-function changes are compensable. Testimony from family, coworkers, and teachers is often the strongest proof of a mild TBI's real impact.
