Toddler Concussion Symptoms: What Parents Should Know After a Fall

04/24/2026

When people hear “concussion,” they usually picture a teen athlete. But concussions are also common in toddlers and preschoolers. In early childhood, concussions happen most often from falls, not sports.

New research shows the aftermath can last longer than many families expect.

A study published the journal Pediatrics entitled “Frequency and Predictors of Persisting Symptoms 1 Year After Early Childhood Concussion” looked at children 6 months to 6 years old with a concussion. Researchers found that about one in four of these young children developed prolonged symptoms.

And those lingering symptoms can matter, because they may affect learning and behavior later in childhood.

Most people assume that any personal injury attorney can handle a brain injury case. But traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases are medically and legally different from typical injury claims.

Brain injuries are often called “invisible injuries.” A person may appear normal while experiencing serious cognitive, physical, and emotional consequences such as:

• Memory and concentration difficulties
• Headaches and dizziness
• Vision disturbances and sleep disruption
• Anxiety, depression, and behavioral changes
• Difficulty completing tasks or solving problems

Radiology studies can sometimes appear normal even when real brain damage exists, making these cases more difficult to diagnose, explain, and prove.

Brain injuries can occur in many types of accidents, including:

• Slip and fall incidents
• Motor vehicle collisions
• Pedestrian accidents
• Truck crashes
• Construction accidents
• Medical malpractice

Because brain injury cases involve complex medical evidence, long-term care needs, and lifelong consequences, they require attorneys who understand both the medical science and the legal framework behind these injuries.

At De Caro & Kaplen, our practice focuses on representing survivors of traumatic brain injury and helping them obtain the medical care and financial recovery they may need for the future.
