Causes & Symptoms of Serious Head Injuries
Head injuries happen in many ways and have a variety of different symptoms. However, all head injuries have something in common: they are serious and must be properly treated. Those that cause these serious injuries must provide compensation for their actions.
Head injuries are often caused by:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Slips and falls
- Physical assault
- Work accidents
Symptoms of head injuries vary from moderate to severe. However, if you suspect you’ve suffered a head injury such as a traumatic brain injury, it is imperative that you seek medical attention as soon as possible. Some head injuries do not always show immediate symptoms and lurk undetected until it is too late to file a claim. Additionally, when a head injury is suspected, it is important to have a clear and concise medical record when seeking damages from the party responsible for the injury.
Those who experience head injuries show the following symptoms:
- Headaches
- Confusion
- Vertigo
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Loss of consciousness
- Loss of memory
- Loss of muscle control
- Irregular eye movements
- Disorientation
Head injuries are serious. If you have experienced trauma to the head, you should visit a medical professional as soon as possible. Remember, it is not possible to completely understand the severity of a head injury solely with initial observable symptoms.
Different Types of Head Injuries
Head injuries usually result in serious problems that require intensive recovery for those that suffer from them.
Types of head injuries include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Concussion: An injury when the impact from head trauma is significant enough to cause injury to the brain. Symptoms from concussions are usually temporary but cause permanent damage if repeated.
- Hematoma: An injury that causes a collection of blood outside of blood vessels. This places pressure on the brain.
- Hemorrhage: This is bleeding that results from a head injury inside the brain or the area around your brain.
- Edema: This describes swelling in or around the brain. As our skulls are rigid, they are unable to accommodate the stretching of the brain during swelling. When an injury causes the brain to swell, pressure builds.
- Fractures: If a fracture occurs to the skull, it is a sign of serious injury as the bone that makes up the skull is strong
- Diffuse Axonal Injuries: Known as the silent killers of brain injuries, diffuse axonal injuries do not cause bleeding in the brain.
