The impairments and disabilities suffered in either an open or closed head injury often last a lifetime, with extensive financial and personal costs.
Types of Head Injuries
There are two types of head injuries that can occur when someone is involved in a traumatic accident:
- Open Head Injuries: An open head injury is when the skull has been punctured. The dangers to the individual are related to the bone pieces, hair and skin that are pushed into the brain at impact. There is a high risk of infection due to contamination, including meningitis, which can increase the risk of permanent damage or death. When the brain has been pierced by bone in certain areas, there can be severe impairments or loss of life. The person could suffer from dementia, paralysis, coma or seizures.
- Closed Head Injuries: A closed head injury can be an extreme danger to the victim, and if not treated immediately can lead to death. The brain swelling and bleeding creates a risk of brain damage due to the compression of brain tissue. Closed head injuries can be mild, moderate or severe, and have the potential of being fatal.
