still have a case or a brain injury even if the MRI or the CT scan doesn't show anything. Now typically when it comes to scanning the brain for quote-unquote traumatic brain injuries and the concussion is even a traumatic brain injury. It's a mild traumatic brain injury but still a brain injury nonetheless. Typical observational testing mechanisms such as MRIs and CAT scans are in fact not going to show the majority of traumatic brain injuries. The only time you're really going to see something on any of those is if you have a brain bleed or a hematoma or some major severe injury. Most traumatic brain injuries occur at such a fine microscopic level that those typical imaging types of tests cannot pick them up. That's why it's so important to contact an attorney as soon as you can to make sure that you get in front of the right people, the right doctors, make sure that you have the right testing done to support what you're going through and document it so later on down the road when you do file a case you can maximize your compensation as well as get the treatment that you need.
