Brain Injury

A brain injury can be confusing and frightening for both the victim of the injury and his or her surrounding friends and family. Symptoms of brain injuries can include confusion, forgetfulness, headaches, tingling in the extremities, blurred vision and personality changes. These symptoms do not necessarily show up immediately after an accident, either. Sometimes they can take weeks or months to appear.

There are two types of brain injury:

Penetrating. This is, in many ways, the simplest type of brain injury. It involves an object that actually pierces the skull and penetrates the brain. The most common causes are car accidents and falls . The lawsuit, rather, hinges on negligence – providing that someone else's negligence caused this injury.
Closed. This is a more complicated injury. It involves a trauma that causes the brain to collide with the inside of the skull such as shaking or being a victim of whiplash. Since there is usually no external wound, determining the extent of a closed brain injury depends on proper diagnosis of symptoms. These symptoms are varied, and often vague. Only a properly qualified medical professional can make an accurate diagnosis.
