Types of Brain Injuries
The brain is a delicate organ, and even minor trauma can cause severe consequences. Damage to the brain resulting in impairments in behavior, physical motion, cognition, and speech/language would all be considered a brain injury.
However, brain injuries are classified into types depending on the nature and location of the damage. Here are some of the most common:
- Concussion: This is a type of trauma caused by a sudden blow to the head or violent shaking.
- Contusion: This is a bruise on the brain that results from a direct impact to the head.
- Coup-Contrecoup Injury: This occurs when an extreme force causes the brain to slam into the side of the skull opposite the initial impact site.
- Diffuse Axonal Injury: This happens when rotational or shaking forces cause brain structures to tear.
- Traumatic Brain Injury: This refers to damage to living brain tissue caused by external mechanical forces or motion, resulting in a period of altered consciousness.
- Anoxic Event: This occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen due to various factors such as drowning, overdose, or kidney failure.
- Acquired Brain Disorder: This is a neurological disorder that causes disruptions in the brain.
- Second Impact Syndrome (Recurrent Traumatic Brain Injury): This happens when a second traumatic brain injury is sustained before the first has healed, potentially leading to death.
- Shaken Baby Syndrome: This occurs when a child’s brain is injured after being violently shaken by another person.
- Locked-In Syndrome: This is a neurological condition in which a person loses the ability to move any part of the body except for the eyes.
A brain injury attorney can help you seek the settlement check or jury verdict you need to pay for the medical bills you’ve been burdened with after your accident.
