Concussions/TBI in Personal Injury By: American Academy of Motor Vehicle Injuries (AAMVI)
Course Description
Mechanism of injury and how the direction of impact affects the risk of injury to specific structures
Rotational motion and how it adds to the risk of injury, especially with concussion/TBI
Cranial Nerve Exam: There is a reason you were taught this in school, and it was not just to create multiple choice questions for the finals. Why “Cranial Nerves II – XII grossly intact” is a gross exaggeration that can damage a case
Concussion/TBI: It is not possible to introduce enough force to damage structures in the cervical spine without bouncing the brain inside the cranium. If you have diagnosed a cervical injury and have not diagnosed a concussion you have not done an exam
Impairment Ratings: How the AMA Guides allow for rating each injury with a number the insurance company understands
New CDC criteria to diagnose TBIs: This just came out on December 7, 2023. If you work with personal injury cases or athletes, you need this.
