Brain injuries account for some of the most serious and catastrophic injuries a person can sustain. Despite what some people may believe, not all brain injuries are the same. Depending on the nature of the accident and where the force or trauma was applied, a person may suffer from any number of brain injuries, such as:

• Concussion: a head injury that temporarily affects normal brain function.
• Contusion: a bleeding bruise to the brain
• Traumatic Brain Injury: damage to brain tissue caused by an external force
• Acquired Brain Injury: damage caused by strokes, tumors, degenerative diseases, near drowning, or any other condition other than force
• Severe Head Injury: usually caused by crushing blows or penetrating wounds to the head; can rip or shear delicate brain tissue
• Open Head Injury: a type of injury in which the skull has been crushed or seriously fractured; brain tissue or membranes surrounding the skull may also be damaged.
• Closed Head Injury: a head injury that does not penetrate the skull
• Brain Damage
• Skull Fractures

All brain injuries take a significant toll on the victim's quality of life. Even a minor concussion can lead to time off from work, constant headaches, and continual medical care.
