Arkansas: Brain Injury Types
Concussions, ranging from mild to serve, are the most common type of traumatic brain injury and occur after a blow to the head. Concussions can result in a loss of consciousness, but some may not. Symptoms of a concussion can include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, slurred speech, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms may last from hours to weeks.
A concussion occurs after the brain hits the inner wall of the skull, often following a car accident or serious impact in sports. Those who have previously suffered a concussion are more susceptible to future concussions.
There are three grades of concussions which a Arkansas brain injury victim can experience. A grade one concussion occurs with no loss of consciousness, a headache and difficulty concentrating. A grade two concussion causes no loss of consciousness, headache, amnesia, dizziness, confusion and/or irritability. A grade three concussion is marked by a complete loss of consciousness.
Those experiencing a single, isolated concussion have a good chance of recovering without long term side effects.
