Medical personnel diagnosed the plaintiff with a concussion and mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Despite medical records indicating a normal brain scan, there were immediate head trauma symptoms, indicative of a mild traumatic brain injury. As a result of the sustained TBI the injured plaintiff struggles with impaired memory, diminished ability to multitask, fatigue, headaches, impaired concentration and impaired information processing.  Past medical expenses claimed in this case amount to $30,000; following prolonged litigation the parties were able to reach a settlement in favor of the plaintiff and prior to trial in the amount of $700,000 (Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars).
