Traumatic brain injuries can be placed into one of two categories: closed head injuries and open head injuries. A closed head traumatic brain injury results from a blow to the head that causes the brain to be compressed within the cranium, resulting in a concussion. Football collisions and the head impacting the ground during a fall are two common causes of closed head injuries. A closed head injury can cause unconsciousness, coma, and brain damage. Individuals who suffer a closed head injury may need to have the pressure in the skull relieved to alleviate the problem.
An open head injury occurs when an object penetrates the skull and impacts the brain tissue directly. An open head injury can result in severe brain injury, as the brain can sustain major harm as a result of tissue damage or infection. Bullet wounds to the head and skull fractures are two possible sources of open head injuries. The most common causes of traumatic brain injury are auto accidents, sports injuries, falls, and acts of violence. These events may also cause serious spinal cord injuries and neck injuries.
If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury or other type of debilitating personal injury in an auto accident or other tragic event, our lawyers in Chicago can help.
