What is a head injury?

A head injury is a trauma to the head, scalp, brain, or skull. Head injuries are traumatic injuries that can range in seriousness from mild to life ending. A head injury may or not include an injury to the brain, known as a traumatic brain injury. A head injury can also include an injury to the skull or the face. Millions of people suffer head injuries each year in the United States. Head injuries that are not fatal may cause permanent damage or require reconstruction surgery, especially in the case of facial injuries.

What are closed head injuries?

Head injuries that do not involve a penetration to the brain are called closed head injuries. A closed head injury may be caused by a direct blow to the head or an automobile accident where the brain is violently shook inside the skull, causing swelling inside the brain called intracranial pressure. The fact that the skull is not penetrated does not make this type of head injury less serious, however. Closed head injuries can cause permanent brain damage, memory loss, or may be fatal. We represent victims of all types of closed head injuries and traumatic brain injuries, including concussions, epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, and intracerebral hemorrhage.

What are open head injuries?

An open head injury is a penetrating wound to the head. This type of head injury may be caused by a blow to the head that breaks the skull, a gun shot wound, or any accident that causes a penetration wound to the scalp and skull. In some penetrating head injuries, pieces of the skull can become lodged inside the victim's brain. Both open head injuries and closed head injuries can result in death if the injury is severe enough.

What are common causes of head injuries?

Bicycle accidents are common causes of head injuries in children. A helmet can lessen the extent of damage of a head injury, but will not prevent an accident. Head injuries can be caused by:

• Car accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Physical violence
• Construction accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Boating accidents
• Sports accidents
