Riverside Head Injury Attorney

A head injury is a trauma to the head, which may or may not include damage to the victim's brain. Head injuries commonly are traumatic consequences of automobile accidents, construction accidents, slip and fall or trip and fall accidents, and violent assaults.

If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury due to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of another party, the Riverside head injury lawyers at Estey & Bomberger, LLP may be able to help you recover monetary compensation. Our attorneys have more than 70 years of combined experience helping head injury victims and their families in California.

Open and Closed Head Injuries

Head injuries can also include injuries to the human scalp and the human skull as well as facial injuries and skin hemorrhaging.  Victims of head injuries also often have neck injuries and whiplash injuries. Although the term "head injury" and "traumatic brain injury" are often used interchangeably, it is important to distinguish that not all head injuries result in neurological damage associated with brain injuries.

If the skull is not broken during the course of the injury, the victim is said to have a closed head injury.  This is also sometimes called a non-missile head injury.  It is very possible for the brain to be injured even if it is not penetrated, such as in a closed head injury.  A concussion is a closed head injury and also a traumatic brain injury.

If the skull is broken, a person is said to have an open head injury or a penetrating head injury. If an object passes through the head and leaves an exit wound, it is said to be a perforating head injury.

Effects of Head Injuries

A victim of a head injury may never be able to return to a normal lifestyle or function the same way they were able to before the injury. Personality changes are common. Other conditions resulting from a head injury or a traumatic brain injury may include:

  • Aggression

  • Anxiety

  • Apathy

  • Cognitive Impairments

  • Depression

  • Dizziness

  • Facial disfigurement

  • Mania

  • Memory loss

  • Memory problems

  • Paralysis
