Detecting Brain Injuries

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES

Some traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases are difficult to detect because even a CT scan can show proper brain functioning despite brain damage being present. Some symptoms may not appear until much after the injury. Unless the traumatic brain injury is serious a neurologist will not see the patient. A regular physician may not catch a problem in a routine office visit. If you would like more information on your legal rights, please contact us to speak with an expert traumatic brain injury lawyer.

Closed Head Injuries occur when the head forcefully hits an object (like a dashboard, etc). Cranial contents have not been penetrated and there is no air inside the protective layers of the skull.

Penetrating Head Injuries occur when something passes through the skull and pierces the brain (like a gunshot wound). The skull has been penetrated and exposed to air.

Closed head injuries run the risk of delayed diagnoses because everything may appear to be okay externally while internally there has been major damage. Depending on the area of the brain that has been damaged, physical, behavioral, or mental changes can occur. In most instances, focal brain damage results. Focal damage means that the injury is confined to just a small area of the brain where the head impacted an object.
