Types of Brain Injuries

All brain injuries are serious and should be treated as medical emergencies. That being said, there are several types of traumatic brain injuries, ranging in severity from relatively mild to severe.

Brain injuries are categorized in the following ways:

  • Closed-Head Injuries: A closed-head brain injury occurs when there is no visible damage to the skull bone, scalp, or head. Instead, damage is internal only, affecting the brain but not the exterior structures that support it. Because there is no visible damage, people may be slower to seek treatment for a closed-head brain injury.
  • Open-Head Injuries: An open-head brain injury occurs when the brain is damaged and there is exterior damage to the skull bone, scalp, and/or head, such as a fracture or open wound. These types of injuries are easier to spot than closed-head injuries, meaning victims typically seek immediate treatment.

Both closed-head and open-head brain injuries can be catastrophic and may lead to life-threatening complications.

Some examples of both closed-head and open-head brain injuries include:

  • Concussions
  • Brain contusions
  • Skull fractures
  • Penetrating head wounds
  • Coup-contrecoup
  • Diffuse axonal injuries

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with any type of brain injury following an accident or another traumatic event, you could be entitled to financial compensation for your damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Reach out to the Law Office of Joseph J. Perrini, III today to speak to an experienced Long Island brain injury lawyer about your legal rights and options.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Brain Injuries?

Even a seemingly minor incident—such as a slip and fall—can lead to a serious brain injury. However, traumatic brain injuries most commonly result from serious, catastrophic accidents and traumatic events.

Some of the most common causes of traumatic brain injuries include:

When someone else is careless, reckless, or negligent, or when they act wrongfully or intentionally cause harm, injured victims have the right to take legal action. By filing a personal injury claim, you can see fair compensation for your resulting losses, including financial costs, physical damages, and emotional suffering and distress.

Filing a Personal Injury Claim for a Long Island Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury cases are often very complex. It is important that you work with an experienced attorney—like Attorney Joseph J. Perrini, III—who can help ensure your rights are protected throughout the process. An attorney can help identify the liable person or party, as well as evaluate the true cost of your current and future damages, including projected future medical expenses, lost income, and miscellaneous costs associated with your injury.

If you attempt to file a TBI claim on your own, the insurance company will almost certainly try to take advantage of you. Insurance adjusters know that most people do not fully understand their rights under the law. They may offer a lowball settlement or dispute your injury entirely. But when you turn to the team at the Law Office of Joseph J. Perrini, III, you can rest assured that we will help you through every stage of the claims filing process.
