Brain Injury - Traumatic Brain Injuries
Every year tens of thousands of people suffer brain injuries requiring medical treatment. These injuries often result in profound and long lasting injuries that affect a persons ability to perform everyday activities. Brain Injuries can often result from relatively minor accidents. You do not have to be traveling at a high rate of speed to suffer a traumatic brain injury. Serious injury can occur from falls, auto accidents, work injuries or any type of trauma to the head or neck area that causes the brain to bruise, bleed, tear or swell.
There are two basic types of Brain Injuries -- open and closed. Open head injuries means that the skull has been fractured and there is actual opening in the skull. Closed head injuries do not involve a head fracture. Closed brain injuries can be much more serious for the reason that the brain can swell or dangerous blood clots can form inside the skull. Regardless of whether the brain injury is the result of a closed or open head injury, the most serious of these injuries can result in paralysis, loss of consciousness and even death.
Brain injuries can occur and be very difficult to detect timely. Some of the things to look for whenever someone has sustained a head injury is:
- Confusion and difficulty remembering events
- Unusual tiredness or sluggishness
- Nausea and dizziness
- Severe headache
- Weakness or numbness on one side of the body
If any of these symptoms appear soon after an accident, you should seek medical attention immediately. It is even possible to suffer a brain injury and feel fine for a while. Some victims that have suffered serious brain injury may be able to function normally for minutes or even hours after the initial accident. Therefore, if any symptoms develop, it is critical that you go to the nearest emergency room for a thorough medical evaluation.

seriously injured as the result of
an accident or negligence, you need the
assistance of The Parker Law Firm.
