Brain injuries fall into two classifications.  Open head injuries involve skull fractures; they usually result from falls or other accidents in which the head impacts a hard object.  Closed head injuries can be more serious than open head injuries even though no fracture is involved, since brain swelling and dangerous blood clot formation may take place.  Both open and closed head injuries can result in paralysis, loss of consciousness and even death.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) usually result from a blow or jolt to the head. They may result in:

• Concussion

• Paralysis

• Loss of voluntary or involuntary motor functions

• Loss of reasoning and thinking abilities

• Memory loss

• Sensory loss

• Emotional disabilities

• Anoxic Brain Injury (an injury resulting from a lack of oxygen to the brain) 

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Brain injury victims may require financial assistance to treat the injury and to continue with their life. Medical evaluations play a critical role in determining the compensation the injured party may receive and their ability to work, their eligibility for discrimination protection, whether independent living is possible and what type of physical therapy may be required.
