About Closed Head Injuries
Closed head injuries result from trauma to the head. Any sudden, violent blow that causes the brain to hit the skull can result in a closed head injury. Unlike open head injuries, closed head injuries do not involve any penetration of the brain; however, this does not make them less dangerous. In fact, closed head injuries have the potential to be quite perilous and can affect cells and tissues located throughout the brain.
Common causes of closed head injuries include, but are not limited to:
- Car / motorcycle / truck accidents
- On-the-job accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Sports accidents
- Construction injury and wrongful death claims
- Medical negligence claims involving brain injuries, stroke, aneurysm and the like
- Explosions and chemical exposure
If you were recently involved in a collision or any other type of accident, be on the lookout for common signs/symptoms of brain injury. Whether mild or severe, a closed head injury could be dormant for days or even weeks before symptoms appear.
Some common symptoms of closed head injuries may not seem troublesome; however when they occur in conjunction with other, more severe symptoms (especially after an accident involving blunt force to the head), they may be cause for concern.
If you experience any of the following symptoms of a closed head injury, don’t wait to seek medical attention:
- Dilated pupils
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Vision issues
- Respiratory problems
- Nausea / vomiting
- Convulsions and / or loss of consciousness
- Behavioral or emotional changes
- Cerebrospinal fluid leakage in nose or ears
- Speech and language problems
