Legal cases regarding inadequate management protocols for concussions can involve serious legal ramifications. In that regard, recently developed position statements by medical organizations can provide valuable information for the practicing clinician. In addition, nationwide legislation regarding concussive injuries has led to changes in the medical management of such injuries. On the other hand, given the relatively high number of youth athletes participating in sports, it is essential that practicing clinicians develop an understanding of the appropriate educational interventions and the legal recourse that is available following a concussive injury in youth athletes. Medical and Legal Ramifications of Concussive Injuries presents an overview of the key factors involved in concussion education, as well as management strategies tailored for young athletes, utilizing legal precedence, organizational position statements, and educational data.
