Michigan Brain Injury / Michigan Closed Head Injury

A traumatic brain injury or closed head injury results when there is either an actual blow to the head or a force that causes an acceleration-deceleration movement of the head. The brain strikes the inside of the skull causing either localized or generalized damage. It is not necessary for a person to lose consciousness to suffer a brain injury, despite this contention from most highly compensated insurance company doctors.

Closed head injuries occur from a number of possible causes, including automobile accidents, slip and fall accidents, motorcycle accidents, heavy machinery accidents, and other types of accidents.

Diagnosis Of A Michigan Brain Injury

Brain injuries are diagnosed by all types of physicians, including neuropsychologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and neurosurgeons. A person can suffer a significant brain injury even though and MRI or CAT scan show normal results. A diagnosis of a brain injury is often made by a neuropsychologist who administers a written battery of tests to the patient. The results of a properly administered and interpreted test are viewed as an authoritative diagnosis of the injury.

Traumatic Brain Injury Symptoms

Symptoms commonly associated with a traumatic brain injury or closed head injury includes the following:

• Coma
• Cognitive Impairment
• Language and Speech Impairment
• Memory Loss and Impairment
• Conduct Disorder
• Personality Disorder
• Loss of Concentration
• Loss of Problem Solving Skills
• Perception Problems
• Sleep Disturbance
• Headaches
