Compensation for concussion varies dramatically based on severity, treatment duration, permanent effects, and impact on daily life. Minor concussions with brief symptoms resolving within days to weeks typically settle for $10,000 to $40,000, covering medical expenses, short-term lost wages, and temporary pain and suffering. Moderate concussions requiring extended treatment, specialist consultations, cognitive therapy, and several months’ recovery may result in settlements from $40,000 to $100,000. Severe concussions causing post-concussion syndrome with persistent headaches, cognitive impairment, memory problems, and emotional changes lasting months or permanently can generate settlements exceeding $100,000, potentially reaching $300,000 or more for life-altering effects.Â

Factors affecting compensation include medical expenses for emergency treatment, neurological evaluations, imaging studies, ongoing therapy, and medications; lost wages during recovery and reduced earning capacity if cognitive impairments affect work performance; pain and suffering compensation for headaches, sensitivity to light and sound, sleep disturbances, and emotional distress; permanent impairment ratings if symptoms persist long-term; and quality of life impacts including inability to participate in activities, relationship difficulties, and cognitive limitations. Second-impact syndrome or multiple concussions increase values substantially. Strong medical documentation from neurologists, neuropsychologists, and other specialists proving symptom severity and causation strengthens claims. Concussion settlements require patience, as rushing resolution before understanding long-term effects risks undervaluing claims with potentially permanent consequences requiring lifetime compensation.
