The immediate and long-term effects of severe brain injuries can be profoundly devastating, impacting every aspect of life. If you experience a severe brain injury due to someone else’s actions, having an experienced brain injury lawyer to advocate for you becomes essential.

The way brain injuries are classified is typically based on the nature and extent of the injury. A few examples of what would be considered severe traumatic brain injuries include:

• Diffuse Axonal Injury: Occurs when a sudden violent blow or jolt to the head causes damage to the brain. As the brain undergoes rapid acceleration or deceleration, structures within the brain, such as axons, can be stretched and torn.

• Contusion: A contusion is a bruise on the brain tissue, usually caused by a direct impact to the head. Severe contusions can lead to significant cognitive and motor impairments.

• Intracerebral Hemorrhage: This type of injury involves bleeding within the brain tissue itself, usually caused by trauma. It can lead to increased intracranial pressure and damage to surrounding brain structures.
