Car accidents are horrible and painful, especially when they involve injuries to the head. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most serious and recurrent types of auto accident traumas. It has been reported that a large number of car accident casualties are caused by TBI. In simple words, TBI refers to injuries caused by a hard blow to the head in which the brain collides against the skull, resulting in different medical conditions. And in case of having a TBI, you will need by your side a brain injury attorney to help you with your case.

To get better medical treatment and to fight personal injury claim lawsuit, one must be aware of different types of TBI that can be caused by a car accident.

Concussion

It is the mildest form of traumatic brain injury that only results in a momentary loss of consciousness and mostly doesn’t aggravate into a permanent brain injury. Concussions are pretty common in accidents where the affected person receives a blow on the head from any hard object on the head.

Contusion

Contusions entail the head injuries in which the impact of the blow affects a specific part of the brain. Contusion injuries are of two types.

Coup Injuries: This type of brain injury entails the direct detrimental effect of the impact on the given area of the brain.

Countrecoup injuries: This entails the brain injury on the opposite side of the impact. It happens when the brain crushes against the skull.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a TBI caused when blood capillaries in the brain are ruptured due to impact. This results in internal brain bleeding. Many times blood seeps in between the brain lobes that are actually filled with cerebral spinal fluid acting as a natural cushion.

This internal brain bleeding can have various consequential effects on the affected person. TBI involving subarachnoid hemorrhage can also worsen into lifelong injuries. Therefore, the nature of a personal injury claim is also different when the affected person sustains subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Diffuse Axonal Injury

Diffuse axonal injury is a type of traumatic brain injury which entails the rupturing and straining of nerve axons within the brain. Axons actually form the communication system between brain cells (neurons) and the rest of the body. So, diffuse axonal injury can disrupt the neuronal communication, which leads to poor coordination and cognitive abilities of the affected individual. Injury claims involving diffuse axonal injury also entails bigger compensations.

Hematoma

A hematoma is a traumatic brain injury arising from the formation of a blood clot, after the rupturing of a large blood vessel. Clotting is basically a homeostatic reaction of the body to stop bleeding. However, the large blood clots in the brain can significantly increase the intracranial pressure, which can aggravate into a fatal condition of stroke. Therefore, immediate surgical removals are often required to deal with hematoma.

Apart from visual signs, all these traumatic brain injuries have other symptoms. For example, affected people can suffer from a loss of consciousness, temporary or permanent memory loss, headaches, dizziness, deteriorated body coordination and seizures. To cover all the tangible losses caused by a car accident, always get the expertise of a brain injury attorney.
