The Causes of Brain Injuries

Some brain injuries can be obvious from the outset, resulting from acute open skull fracture injuries and requiring immediate and extensive emergency care. However, other brain injuries can elude detection by CT scans, EEGs, and X-rays. An injury to the brain may escape immediate notice when a victim experiences either no loss of consciousness or only temporarily lose consciousness. However, even a seemingly minor incident can result in permanent cognitive impairment, altering a person's life forever.

There are many ways that people can suffer from traumatic brain injuries. These include penetrating injuries, sharp blows to the head, and even minor bumps to the head. These can be caused in numerous personal injury contexts, including:

About 1.5 million people experience brain injuries each year according to the CDC. These cases result in long-term disability for approximately 80,000. Another 50,000 people die as a result of their brain injuries. Mansell and Mansell APC has legally represented victims many different types of brain injuries. Some serious brain injuries include:

  • Concussion
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Skull fracture
  • Penetration injury
  • Shaken baby syndrome
  • Hypoxia (decrease in oxygen to the brain)
  • Anoxia (absence of oxygen to the brain)
  • Brain contusion (bruising of the brain)
  • Diffuse axonal injury (tearing of brain's nerve tissue)

Signs of Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can be difficult to diagnose since they occur inside the skull. There may be little, if any, obvious indication of internal harm. Assessment by a skilled medical specialist, such as a neurologist, may be required to properly appraise an injury and verify the existence and extent of a traumatic brain injury. Symptoms of brain injuries include:

  • Loss of feeling
  • Loss of neuromuscular coordination
  • Long-term or short-term amnesia
  • Unexplained fatigue
  • Communication problems
  • Problems thinking, including:
    • Problems with memory
    • Problems paying attention
    • Becoming easily distracted
  • Changes in personality
