Two Categories of Brain Injury

Often, traumatic brain injuries are classified into two categories: penetrating head injury and closed head injury.

A penetrating head injury, or open wound, is visible and involves an actual penetration of the skull and brain tissue. 

A closed head injury is the more common type of traumatic brain injury.  These vary widely in severity.  For example, a minor concussion is a form of closed head injury.  On the other end of the spectrum, a closed head injury can result in complete disability, loss of physical function and cognitive ability, or even death.

If you or a loved one suffered a closed head injury, brain injury or head injury that may have been caused by the fault of another person or product, talk with an experienced Michigan personal injury lawyer.  Please submit a simple, free and confidential legal consultation form today.
