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.

Seeking Compensation for a Brain Hemorrhage After an Accident

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