Cerebral Contusion

When you receive a blow to the head by a blunt object, you may experience a head injury. One such head injury is cerebral contusion. A cerebral contusion usually forms when an individual receives a particularly forceful hit to the head. Like other head injuries, cerebral contusion may have long-term health effects if not properly treated.

If you or someone you know received blunt head trauma that resulted in a cerebral contusion, contact the New Jersey personal injury lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. at 800-346-5529.

Symptoms

There are some symptoms that are common among individuals who suffer from cerebral contusions. Some of these symptoms include:

  • Lack of coordination
  • Numbness
  • Difficulty speaking
  • Memory loss

Should you present any of these symptoms, it is important that you see a physician immediately to get proper treatment. If left untreated, pressure may build in your skull, which may lead to serious, long-term health effects or even death.

Depending on the circumstances surrounding your blunt head trauma, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit. In order to build a proper case, you must be able to prove that your injuries were the result of another person’s negligence. If you can prove your injuries were caused by someone else, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
