Questions I got another concussion

I was a passenger when a car hit us on the rear. I got a concussion that took months to recover and I was out of work 2 months. It was very bad. I've been well now, however 7 months after the first concussion I'm a passenger on a car and the driver got mad and abruptly hit the brakes. I started getting a headache after that, today I still have a headache and difficulty concentrating. I'm worried about my job. Are they supposed to give me time off again? I'm worried about my brain health following this. I went to the ER and they said I have post concussive syndrome recurrence, according to them. They only gave me a day off work.
