New Jersey Brain Contusion Lawyers

When a person sustains an injury to their head, the small blood vessels around the brain may burst from the pressure or from direct trauma. The blood that collects from these broken vessels may eventually gather together to create a sizeable bruise around the brain. Termed brain contusions, while these bruises may not seem like a serious health issue, they can actually cause severe problems for a person if not monitored closely.

If you have suffered head trauma which caused the development of a contusion, you may be able to seek financial compensation for your injuries if that trauma occurred as a consequence of another person’s negligence or recklessness. Contact the New Jersey brain contusion attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529 today to speak with a skilled and experienced lawyer about your potential case.

The Danger of a Contusion near the Brain

Cerebral contusions may swell near the brain, causing the pressure inside of the skull to rise. In emergency situations, this increase in pressure can have drastic adverse effects on that person’s health and could prove to be fatal if not resolved timely.

The following health issues may occur because of a cerebral contusion:

  • Permanent brain damage due to tissue death from the pressure
  • A brain hernia, causing widespread damage to the brain
  • Release of chemicals from the bruise, causing increased swelling

Symptoms of a cerebral contusion may include anything from a headache to the loss of consciousness. In many cases, symptoms can result that closely mirror those associated with a concussion, making it important to seek medical attention immediately to make a determination as to the nature of one’s injury.
