INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGE LAWYER

An intracranial hemorrhage is a bleeding within the skull. Generally, an intracranial hemorrhage can be classified into two groups: intra-axial and extra-axial. Intra-axial hemorrhage is bleeding within the brain itself. This group includes intraparenchymal hemorrhage, which is bleeding within the brain tissue and intraventricular hemorrhage, which is bleeding within the brain’s ventricles. Extra-axial hemorrhage is when the bleeding occurs within the skull but outside of the brain tissue. There are three sub categories of an extra-axial hemorrhage: epidural hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Intracranial hemorrhages can be caused by blows to the head as a result of car accidents or slip and fall accidents. If you have suffered an intracranial hemorrhage injury, you should call an experienced personal injury attorney now to see if you are entitled to monetary compensation.

An intracranial hemorrhage is a very severe injury, because the buildup of blood within the skull can lead to an increase in intracranial pressure. This, in return, can crush delicate brain tissues or limit the brain’s blood supply. In severe cases, this pressure can cause brain herniation. An intracranial hemorrhage can be caused by a traumatic brain injury or abnormalities of the blood vessels. Also, high blood pressure can be a common cause of an intracranial hemorrhage.
