Two Categories of Brain Injuries

Often, traumatic brain injuries are classified into two categories: penetrating head injury and closed head injury.

A penetrating head injury, or open wound, is visible and involves an actual penetration of the skull and brain tissue. 

A closed head injury is the more common type of traumatic brain injury.  These vary widely in severity.  For example, a minor concussion is a form of closed head injury.  On the other end of the spectrum, a closed head injury can result in complete disability, loss of physical function and cognitive ability, or even death.

If you or a loved one suffered a closed head injury, brain injury or head injury that may have been caused by the fault of another person or product, talk with a dedicated Ohio personal injury lawyer.  Please submit a simple, free and confidential legal consultation form today.
