Over 500,000 Americans suffer from a severe head injury every year that requires hospitalization.  While these traumas to the head are quite common and appear minor, it can lead to serious brain injury without immediate medical attention.

When the brain sustains injury, two types of head injuries can occur:

• Open Head Injury – occurs when trauma breaks the skull and penetrates the brain.  This is often seen in a high-impact motor vehicle accident when the head hits the windshield.
• Closed Head Injury – bleeding or swelling occurs when the brain smashes against the skull.

Different types of head injuries include: concussion, skull fracture, cerebral anoxia and subdural hematoma.

While a head injury is common, it is important that you do not:

• wash a head wound that is bleeding profusely
• remove headgear if a serious head injury is suspected
• pick up a child who displays signs of a head injury
• remove a foreign object protruding from a wound

Head injuries can be severe and result in permanent brain damage.  If you or someone you know is suffering from a head injury because of someone else’s negligence, it is important that you seek out legal advice.  Our attorneys at Tarshish Cody have seen the many different head injury cases and have handled the the complications surrounding them.  You deserve the best Personal Injury attorney in Minnesota who will fight on your behalf to get you the best compensation you deserve so you can pay back those expensive medical bills and recover lost wages.  Contact Tarshish Cody today at 612-808-8999 (or fill out the free Case Evaluation Form) to help you through the legal issues of your Head Injury case.
