Types of Head Injuries

August 6th, 2011 | Author: | Law

Head injuries are some of the most severe injuries that people can suffer from because of the risk of brain damage. Our brain is very delicate and even seemingly minor injuries can cause serious brain damage. For that reason, it is critical to always have head injuries examined by a licensed health care professional in order to evaluate the full extent of the damage. Head injuries can be expensive and very time consuming to treat, but fortunately, if your head injury was caused by the negligence or carelessness of another person or party, financial compensation may be available to you.

Common Types of Head Injuries

Because head injuries can result in serious brain damage, it is important to understand the common types of head injuries so you be more knowledgeable and ready in the event of a head injury. Some of the most common types of head injuries include:

  • Concussions
  • Contusions
  • Hematomas
  • Skull fractures
  • Severe lacerations
  • Internal bleeding

Many of these injuries can be very painful and may lead to temporary or permanent brain damage unless medical action is taken immediately.
