Head Injury Sustained in Hit by a Taxi Accident MN

Very often when a person is hit by a taxi they fall and strike their head on the curb or road causing a head injury. The head injury may be a concussion, cerebral contusion, skull fracture or a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

There is no universally recognized definition of traumatic brain injury. However, the following 1986 definition adopted by the Brain Injury Association of America has since been enacted as a statutory definition by several states:

Traumatic brain injury is an insult to the brain, not of a degenerative or congenital nature but caused by an external physical force, that may produce a diminished or altered state of consciousness, which results in an impairment of cognitive abilities or physical functioning. It can also result in the disturbance of behavioral or emotional functioning. These impairments may be either temporary or permanent and cause partial or total functional disability or psychosocial maladjustment.

Head injury / brain injury symptoms can vary significantly. A traumatic brain injury will usually lead to a variety of symptoms in the following areas: emotional symptoms (depression, anxiety, mood swings), cognitive symptoms (memory issues, poor concentration), social symptoms (poor judgment, loss of inhibitions), and / or physical symptoms (headaches, dizziness, seizures).
