Personal Injury Lawyer Charleston | Brain Injury Basics<\/h1>\n

Personal Injury Lawyer Charleston |<\/a> Traumatic brain injuries are separated into four different types and three levels of severity. When you suffer a traumatic brain injury in a car accident, job site accident, <\/span>fall, or any other way you may not even know right away what type of brain injury you have as sometimes observation is needed. Once you have been diagnosed with your injuries and a cause determined, it is worth consulting with a personal injury lawyer in Charleston to determine if you are entitled to compensation. <\/span>Before you get to that<\/span>,<\/span> however, there are few things you should know about how traumatic brain injuries are classified. <\/span><\/p>\n

Four <\/span>Main <\/span>Type<\/span>s<\/span> of Traumatic Brain Injuries <\/span><\/p>\n

Concussions <\/span>are minor brain injuries <\/span>that are most often caused by impact, trauma, shaking or a sudden change in movement such as whiplash. Concussions aren\u2019t always easy to prove since they cannot be seen on imaging in most cases, but they <\/span>can cause headaches<\/span>, memory loss, disorientation, dizziness, and problems with concentration. Concussions can become more dangerous if a second injury happens before the first is fully healed. These injuries are common seen in car accidents and sports injuries. <\/span><\/p>\n

Brain Contusions<\/span> <\/span>are bruises to the brain tissues <\/span>caused<\/span> by the small blood vessels breaking. Brain contusions are most often caused by blunt force trauma such as being hit with a hard object, falling on concrete, or being in a severe car accident. <\/span>Contusions usually happen on both sides of the brain, the injured side<\/span>,<\/span> and opposite, and can be minor to severe. Contusions may cause loss of <\/span>consciousness<\/span>,<\/span> fatigue, confusion, and brain swelling. <\/span><\/p>\n

Penetrating Brain Injuries-<\/span> When an object pierces through the skull, a penetrating brain injury occurs. The brain can be seriously injured<\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>resulting in death, paralysis, brain damage, and other issues. <\/span><\/p>\n

Anoxic Brain Injury-<\/span> When your brain is deprived of oxygen<\/span>,<\/span> a<\/span>n<\/span> anoxic brain injury occurs. <\/span>Brain cells will begin to die within four to five minutes of being <\/span>oxygen<\/span>–<\/span>deprived<\/span>. Common causes for anoxic brain injury include stroke, blood clot, heart attack, serious trauma such as strangulation or drowning<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are several other types of brain injuries<\/span>,<\/span> but the ones mentioned above are the most common. Traumatic brain injuries are usually classified as mild, <\/span>moderate<\/span> or severe ranging from loss of consciousness to life-threatening. <\/span><\/p>\n
