Cerebral Contusion, a bruise of the brain tissue, is a form of traumatic brain injury. Cerebral contusion happens in twenty to thirty percent of severe head injuries and are typically caused by multiple micro hemorrhages. A micro hemorrhage is when a small blood vessel leaks into the brain tissue. If untreated, a cerebral contusion can cause brain herniation, a severe condition in which parts of the brain are squeezed past parts of the skull. However, sometimes contusions can heal without the help of medical intervention. If you or a loved one has suffered a cerebral contusion injury as the result of an accident you should speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible to find out if you are entitle to monetary compensation.

In most cases, the most typical symptoms are a lack of motor coordination, numbness, aphasia, and memory and cognitive problems. There are various causes of contusions, but the most common cause is a blow to the head from a car accident. Almost half of all traumatic brain injuries are caused by motor vehicle accidents.
