Phoenix head injuries attorneys at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. know any type of brain injury can be frightening for the patient as well as the family. A brain injury can change a person forever; coping with the after-effects can be exhausting physically and mentally. It is important for immediate family members and friends to understand what to expect from a closed head or open head brain injury.
The Differences Between Open and Closed Head Injuries
Brain injuries occur from a blow to the head. An open head injury results when an object pierces the brain, causing damage. Most open head injuries occur during an assault when a bullet, knife or other object violently enters the head. However, an open head brain injury can also occur during a motor vehicle accident or at a construction site. The severity of an open head injury is usually moderate to severe.
Closed head injuries usually occur during sports, car accidents and other motor vehicle crashes, falls and in construction site accidents. A closed head injury can cause mild to severe brain injury due to the hit to the brain. A concussion is a type of closed head injury, and oftentimes, the person doesn’t even know about the injury until symptoms occur.
Seeking medical attention in any type of blow to the head is critical to prevent further brain damage. The severity of the injury will dictate the medical protocol to follow, and it is wise to seek the most experienced and knowledgeable healthcare professionals.
