Common Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries Resulting from Car Accidents 

There are different types of traumatic brain injuries that can occur as a result of car accidents. Some of the most common types of injuries include: 

Concussions 

These are the result of the sudden change in direction of the neck and the head. The sudden jolting of the head back and forth results in the brain striking the inside of the skull. This can result in bruising of the brain as well as internal bleeding. 

Skull fractures 

These occur when the skull is fractured or fragmented. The fracturing of the skull is may be the result of blunt force trauma due to an object striking your head or your head striking a hard surface. Fragments or a section of the skull can cause damage to the brain tissue or blood vessels supplying the brain. 

Internal hematoma 

This occurs when blood vessels in and around the brain are damaged. It is often the result of a hard blow to the head. While the skull may not crack or fracture as a result of the blow, you may experience internal bleeding. 

Shear injuries 

These are a result of the severe jerking motion or rotation of the neck that results in shaking of the brain. The brain may become bruised or bleed internally as a result of the shaking. Brain tissue may also be damaged as a result of shaking. 

Penetration injuries 

These injuries are severe and often obvious. They are a result of a sharp or hard object penetrating the skull and causing damage to the brain. Penetration injuries can also occur when the skull is fractured and a piece of the bone penetrated the skull.
