Attorney Eric R. Blank

A brain injury can occur in any kind of car accident, however, the severity and type of brain injury can differ depending on the kind of collision as well as how intense the crash was. Rear end accidents pose different risks than front end collisions, and t-bone accidents have their own unique risks as well.
The most common brain injuries that happen in car collisions are concussions, contusions, penetration, diffuse axonal, and more. Concussions are fairly familiar brain injuries, as they can happen in a variety of circumstances outside of car accidents. They happen when the brain strikes the inside of your skull.

A contusion is a bruise on the brain that results from a sudden impact to the head. A penetrating head injury occurs when something punctures the skull and comes in contact with the brain. A diffuse axonal injury happens when the brain is subjected to abrupt shaking or rotating. This causes tearing of structures within the brain, and may result in permanent damage.
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.
