The terms "head injury" and "brain injury" are used to describe a very wide spectrum of injuries ranging from mild concussions to full-blown brain dysfunction leaving the injured person in a semi-"vegetative" state such as Terry Schiavo experienced. Prescribed treatment and care ranges from administrative of aspirin to full-time dependence on life support (feeding tubes and respirators). The injured person may walk around looking "normal," or may have to live full-time in a nursing home.
Your brain injury may have occurred in a variety of circumstances:
- A traumatic blow to the head occurring in a fall from a height, a fall on ice, a violent attack, a car accident or construction site accident
- A medication error
- An anesthesia error
- An aneurysm or stroke that went undiagnosed
- Any oxygen-depriving circumstance or situation such as entrapment in a mine
