Understanding Head Injury

The human brain is a very complex and mysterious organ. Damage to the brain, known as a traumatic brain injury or TBI, can affect it in an infinite number of ways, many of which are not fully understood by neurologists, let alone attorneys, insurance claims adjusters, and disability examiners. This often leads to victims not receiving compensatory benefits for head injury.

The brain is the control system not only for the entire human body, but the mind as well. Different areas of the brain control certain aspects of how we think and react to the world around us. Certain parts of the brain control hearing, vision, speech, logic, inhibition, personality, and many other aspects of how we work. Serious damage can occur when something hits a person in the head, and this can have varying affects depending on which part of the brain is impacted. The brain is such a sensitive organ that a person can suffer serious brain damage even without being knocked unconscious by the injury. In the case of Phineas Gage (1823-1860), a metal pipe entered his frontal lobe through the skull and caused him to suffer major health problems and personality alterations that dramatically changed his life, but he was not knocked out by the pipe!

Another thing that we need to keep in mind when considering victims of head injury is that mild head injury is a very serious matter. A mild head injury is a physiological disruption of brain function activity at the state of an accident. It includes unconsciousness, confusion, dizziness, blurred vision or nausea and these are potential symptoms of a brain injury that can worsen over time. Mild brain injury is considered a serious injury according to the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine and should be treated as such.

Injury to the brain does not have to be caused by an object hitting a person in the head. Other common causes of head injury can occur with whiplash. When a person's head is whipped back and forth violently, the brain may be banged against rough ridges inside the skull, causing it to be bruised or torn and even though it is a trauma from the inside, it is still considered a head injury. Sometimes this happens in babies when they suffer shaken baby syndrome. Babies systems are so fragile that this sort of damage can cause severe lifelong disability that may not be detectable without monitoring the child's development over an extended period.
