Head Injuries - Head Injury Lawyer O'Fallon, MO

Unlike other types of injuries where the injury can be outwardly apparent, a person who is suffering from a head injury often shows no outward appearance of being injured. The effects of a traumatic brain injury typically have lasting consequences. Often, those who are suffering from traumatic brain injuries also aren't aware that their other functions are also being impaired by the injury.

So what are the common types of head injuries, and what are the symptoms associated with that injury? Our Personal Injury Lawyers in O'Fallon are well versed in litigating head injuries, and the head injuries they litigate most commonly are as follows:

• Concussions - This injury type is typically seen in sports and auto accidents. This can be caused by force directly to the head, or by the head being violently shaken or pulled in a direction. Symptoms include loss of awareness, being knocked out, and blurred vision.
• Fractures - Skull fractures are a break in the skeletal structure of the skull. Because of the force required to break the skull bone, these injuries are typically more life-threatening. In most cases, severe brain damage does occur.
• Linear Skull Fractures - This is one of the more common skull fracture types. There is a break in the bone structure of the skull, but the broken bone does not move anywhere. Typically, little intervention is needed to correct this injury.
• Depressed Skull Fractures - This is one of the more traumatic brain injuries as the brain itself is subject to damage. At this level, severe loss of motor function is possible, as well as extended comas.
• Hematomas - These injuries cause undue pressure on the brain which happens after clots form on or around the brain.
• Epidural Hematoma - This forms between the skull bone and the brain. This type of hematoma can form when blood vessels burst in the brain. In this injury, migraines are very common, as well as loss of consciousness or motor functions.
• Contusion - This is a direct injury to the brain. Symptoms include bruising, swelling of the brain, loss of consciousness, loss of motor functions and more.

Head Injuries should always be taken seriously, seek care immediately. Your health and well-being demand that your head injury gets the care it needs. You may be able to sue the person responsible for your injury. Our Personal Injury Lawyers in O'Fallon can help you get the recovery and compensation you are owed for your injury.

Symptoms of Head Injuries - Head Injury Attorney in O'Fallon

Knowing how to detect when someone is suffering from a traumatic brain injury isn't always simple. While the skull can typically protect the brain in most cases, a traumatic accident can have the force required to cause injury to the brain. If the force is strong enough, your brain will absolutely have damaged or injuries of some form that could be life-threatening. Here are several outwardly exhibited symptoms our Head Injury Lawyers in O'Fallon have identified that can help you notice if someone is suffering from brain damage:

• Sensitivity to Noise or Light - An unusual sensitivity to sound or lights that appear painful and bright can be a sign of brain damage.
• Abnormally Pale Skin - Abnormally pale skin can be a sign that the bodies regulatory functions are being affected or that the brain which governs these functions is damaged.
• Severe Constant Headache - Constant headaches are a sign of increased pressure or damage to the brain.
• Blurred Vision - Persistant blurred vision is a clear sign of brain trauma.
• Balance Issues - If the person could walk normally before, and now has difficulty balancing or walking, this is a sign of brain damage.
• Abnormal Sweating - Sweating during unusual circumstances can be a sign of brain damage.
• Sensitive to Irritability - Unusually short tempers or general irritability can be a sign of brain damage.

Noticing brain issues as soon as they start can help reduce damage and other issues that could arise later. With the brain, having the injury seen to and corrected as quickly as possible is paramount to ensuring that no further damage happens.
