Even a football player who wears the most innovative helmet and other safety gear can suffer from a serious head injury when playing. In most cases, the injury will be mild, such as a concussion, but do not believe that “mild” means that it is not a big deal. The truth is that football head injuries can result in years of hardship for the player and their family.
Not all football head injuries are grounds for a personal injury lawsuit
Not all traumatic brain injuries suffered during a football game warrant filing a personal injury case. However, if the injury was caused at least in part due to a trainer or coach acting negligently, a football helmet not being manufactured correctly, or a football franchise, then the player and / or their family should seek compensation right away.

The potential for long-lasting consequences from football head injuries
Top neurologists have found that suffering from just one concussion can make a person as much as four times as likely to have a second concussion. In the event this second concussion happens before the person in question has fully healed from the first one, then there is the potential for Second Impact Syndrome (SIS).
SIS can result in swelling of the brain or, in worst case scenarios, a total lack of blood flow to the brain. A player who has suffered from SIS or more than one concussion may end up facing:
- Debilitating headaches
- Leaning problems
- Vertigo
- Issues with memory
- Difficulty thinking
- Difficulty processing new information
- Behavioral issues
- A higher chance of future brain disease
