The Lasting Repercussions of a Brain Hemorrhage

According to the Mayo Clinic, bleeding in the brain is classified as an intracranial hemorrhage. There are four primary types of brain hemorrhages:

Subdural hematoma, which occurs when blood vessels rupture between the brain and the three outermost membrane layers (the dura mater), resulting in the pooling of blood in the brain
Epidural hematoma, which occurs when a blood vessel ruptures between the outer surface of the dura mater and the skill, resulting in a blood clot
Intracerebral hematoma, which occurs when blood pools in the tissues of the brain; trauma to the head can result in several intracerebral hematomas
Subarachnoid hemorrhage, which occurs when there is bleeding between the brain and the tissue encasing the brain

Depending on the nature and severity of the injury, symptoms of a brain injury include:

Persistent headache
Dizziness
Vomiting
Seizures
Confusion
Loss of consciousness
Slurred speech
Blurred vision
Weakness, unsteadiness
Paralysis on the opposite side of the body from the head injury
Loss of cognitive function

If you or a loved one experiences any of these symptoms after an accident, it is crucial to seek immediate medical treatment to stop the brain bleed and prevent your injury from worsening.

When an intracranial hemorrhage occurs, oxygen may not be able to reach the brain, while the pooling of blood also puts pressure on the brain. If the brain is deprived of oxygen for more than 3 or 4 minutes, brain cells die and the affected nerve tissue may also be damaged.

What Causes a Brain Hemorrhage

A brain bleed can be caused by high blood pressure, an aneurysm, or other health condition, however, brain hemorrhages are frequently caused by trauma as a result of:

Regardless of the type of accident that caused you or a loved one to suffer a brain hemorrhage, it takes a skilled personal injury attorney to help you obtain just compensation.

Seeking Compensation for a Brain Hemorrhage After an Accident

At J&Y Law, we are highly experienced in handling injury claims arising from all types of accidents. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain hemorrhage as a result of a car accident, for example, we will conduct an extensive investigation to determine the cause of the accident and hold the responsible party accountable.

Our attorneys have also handled injury claims arising from medical errors. When a brain hemorrhage is caused by a surgical mistake or diagnostic error, it may be possible to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against the responsible medical professional (e.g. doctor, hospital, anesthesiologist).

In any case, you and your family deserve compensation for the harm you have suffered as well as the financial losses related to your brain hemorrhage. Let our attorneys handle all the details of your claim, including:

Determining who is at fault for your accident and resulting brain hemorrhage
Identifying and calculating the value of your losses

Preparing necessary paperwork for a personal injury lawsuit
