Each year, millions of people sustain a traumatic injury to the scull, scalp or brain. A head injury can be a concussion, contusion (bruising of the brain), skull fractures, or scalp injury. Although a serious head injury often includes a brain injury, a head injury can also occur without any injury to the brain.

A head injury can result serious health problems, disability, and even death. Broussard & David understands that a head injury can drastically impact you and your family’s lives. Our firm represents clients who sustained a head injury as a result of another person’s negligence.

Common causes of head injuries include:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• Workplace accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
