Riverside Head Injury Attorney

Head Injury Attorney in Riverside

Victims of head and brain injuries often face many physically challenges. Head injuries, which is a general term used to describe work injury to the scalp, skull or brain, can have serious consequences. In many cases, the physical effects of a head injury are just one of the many challenges victims face. Severe head injuries can also have serious emotional and financial consequences as well.

One of the most common types of head injuries is a concussion. Concussions are a type of brain injury caused by trauma or as they are often referred to as traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Concussions occur when the brain is jarred or “shaken” inside the skull by an external force. For example: when an individual falls and hits his or her head on the ground, the force of the fall may cause the brain to shake inside the skull. Minor concussions can temporarily alter an individual’s memory and disrupt normal brain functioning. Although one minor concussion may not have any permanent or long-term effects, a worker who has suffered multiple concussions or a more severe concussion can experience permanent brain damage.

Another type of TBI is a contusion or as it is also known, a bruise. Cerebral contusions can cause swelling and bleeding of the brain. Individuals with severe brain contusions may require surgical intervention and close monitoring. Patients with cerebral swelling are at high risk for permanent brain damage and death. When swelling and bleeding are not present, contusions can heal on their own without medical intervention.

As mentioned above, head injuries can also include injury to the skull. Skull factures are typically described as either: open, closed, depressed or cranial. The term, open skull fracture, describes a break resulting in an open wound. When the scalp and skull have been penetrated and the bone is visible, the patient is suffering from an open skull fracture. A closed skull fracture describes a break with no visible wound – the scalp and skull have not been penetrated. When the cranial bone extends down into the cavity of the brain, a doctor may describe this break as a depressed fracture. Basal fractures occur when the floor of the skull (eyes, ears, back, nose or neck) has been broken.

An open or depressed skull fracture may be visible to the eye, but a closed or basal fracture may go unnoticed until symptoms develop. Skull fractures can produce multiple symptoms, such as headache, nausea, vomiting, pupils not reacting to light, excessive drowsiness, fatigue, swelling at injury site, bruising at injury site, blurred vision, and irritability.
