Closed-Head Brain Injury

While a closed-head injury usually is not as serious as an open-head injury, this type of brain injury is still considered a serious injury and can be debilitating and even fatal in some cases. A closed head brain injury can lead to a permanent disability and possibly even premature death, which may be a precursor to a wrongful death lawsuit.

A closer look at closed-head brain injuries

You may sustain a closed-head brain injury and not realize you may have a catastrophic injury. Unlike open-head brain injuries, a closed-head injury may not be apparent to others. Signs of a closed head brain injury include the following:

• Confusion
• Dizziness
• Headaches
• High blood pressure
• Loss of memory
• Nausea
• Restlessness
• Slow pulse

A sudden blow to the head may cause a closed-head brain injury. In a car accident, an occupant may slam his or her head on the windshield or side window, causing the closed head injury. A common term for a closed head injury is a concussion. More technical names include the following:

• Epidural hematoma
• Increased intracranial pressure
