Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) affects many Fort Wayne residents each year, particularly those injured in motor vehicle accidents on busy corridors like Interstate 69 and US 30, or in workplace incidents at major employers like Parkview Health and General Motors. This debilitating condition can persist long after the initial trauma, causing symptoms ranging from persistent headaches and dizziness to memory problems and mood changes. In Fort Wayne's industrial environment, these symptoms can be particularly challenging, affecting victims' ability to perform manufacturing work, healthcare duties, or other demanding jobs. For those whose PCS resulted from another's negligence, pursuing a personal injury claim can be crucial for securing compensation needed for specialized medical care at facilities like Parkview Regional Medical Center or Lutheran Hospital.

Legal Rights and Considerations Indiana's statute of limitations gives victims two years to file a personal injury lawsuit (IC § 34-11-2-4). Fort Wayne cases fall under Allen County jurisdiction, where courts consistently recognize PCS as a compensable injury. Claims typically involve working with both private health insurance and the at-fault party's liability coverage. Indiana's modified comparative fault system allows recovery as long as the victim is no more than 50% responsible. Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitative care, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering, with no cap on compensatory damages in Indiana brain injury cases. A good Fort Wayne brain injury attorney will handle all aspects of the legal claim.
