The main purpose of the head is to protect the most important organ in your body – the brain. As such, a head injury could involve any number of traumas to the scalp, skull, or brain. Even in the case of a minor head injury it is advised that you seek medical treatment just in case a more serious injury is not immediately present. The most common head injuries are:
Though there is often not any blood, closed head injuries can often be more dangerous than penetrating injuries because they are harder to identify quickly and usually involve severe trauma to the brain. Treatment of head injuries depends on the complexity and can involve everything from stitches, to brain surgery, to extensive rehabilitation therapy. The medical expenses involved often add up to a large amount, and if your head injury is due to another's actions or negligence you shouldn't have to stress about paying them while healing. An experienced Central Florida personal injury attorney will take care of getting the restitution you need for you.
With such a wide variety of head injury types, there are many activities and occurrences that can cause a head injury. However, the most common causes for head injury are:
In several of these cases, restitution can be pursued in a personal injury case. Florida is a pure comparative negligence case, so if another entity is determined to be at fault for any percentage of your head injury, you could be entitled to damages. For instance, if a landlord's negligence led to your fall, or if the other driver in the car accident failed to yield. Contact an experienced Brevard County head injury attorney today to see if you qualify to have all, or even part, of your damages paid for.
