A closed head injury is an injury to the brain caused by striking the head or violent motion without impact, that does not involve an open or penetrated skull. The most common causes of a closed head injury include sports, motor vehicle accidents, falls, and physical assaults, all of which can cause bleeding in the brain or, in equally severe but less obvious cases, changes to the brain on a cellular level. If you suffered a closed head injury and no longer feel like yourself, contact us to discuss your injury.
