Head injuries are categorized as being either external or internal. External injuries like cuts to the scalp are usually less serious, even though there may be substantial bleeding since the scalp is full of blood vessels. Internal head injuries, which may include skull fracture, tearing of blood vessels, or brain damage, are very serious and can be life-threatening. Symptoms include unconsciousness, dizziness, abnormal breathing, bleeding from nose, ear or mouth, unequal pupil size, impaired speech or vision, neck pain or stiffness, and weakness or paralysis. If you or someone you know is experiencing any unusual symptoms after a head trauma, you should seek professional medical assistance immediately.
In a case where someone else was responsible for a head injury, you may wish to consult with a lawyer. In a negligence case action, personal injury is described as any harm caused to a person, such as a broken bone, a cut, or a bruise. Any type of bodily injury as a result of an attack, negligence, and/or accident can be categorized as personal injury, and you can file a lawsuit to hold those responsible for your personal injury.
