Common Types of Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injury cases can start with several causes:

• Medical treatment errors causing damage from lack of oxygen, resulting in cerebral palsy
• A violent motor vehicle collision
• Equipment falling on a construction site
• A person falling on a slippery surface and hitting their head

Medical experts like The Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins Medicine describe several types of traumatic brain injuries:

• Closed Injuries: This is the most common type of brain injury, in which a blow to the head or sharp jarring movement leaves internal injuries from the brain getting shaken inside the skull.
• Open Injuries: These occur when an outside object penetrates the skull and injuries the brain.
• Anoxia: This is an injury from lack of oxygen to the brain, caused by emergencies like choking or near drowning.

Brain injuries can have many life-altering effects, including confusion, memory loss, fatigue, headaches, loss of balance, coma, paralysis, tremors, weakness, vision loss, hearing loss, difficulty speaking, difficulty reading, struggles with social situations, mental health conditions and more.
