Head injuries can occur in any kind of motor vehicle accident, however, the severity and type of head injury may differ depending on what kind of collision it was and how hard of an impact the crash created. For instance, rear end accidents pose different risks for injury than front end collisions do, just like t-bone accidents have unique risk factors from sideswipe accidents. They all present an opportunity for potential injuries, however, and should all be taken seriously.

The most common head injuries that occur in car collisions are concussions, contusions, penetration, and coup-contrecoup. Concussions are probably the most common form of head injury to occur in a car accident. These happen when the brain forcefully comes into contact with the inside of the skull. Contusions are considered bruises on the brain, and they typically come from a sudden impact to the head. Penetrating head injuries are fairly self-explanatory, as they occur when an object penetrates the skull. A coup-contrecoup injury is when the brain suddenly jerks around within the skull. This causes the brain to hit both sides of the inside of the skull, as opposed to just one as in a concussion.

All of these injuries should be treated seriously and taken care of immediately. Healing from them will take time, but Eric Blank Injury Attorneys will be there with you every step of the way.
