In fracture cases, this means that we are fully aware of the different types of skull fractures, and are prepared to tailor our representation accordingly.
Linear Skull Fractures
Of the various types of skull fractures, a linear skull fracture the most common. It involves a break in the skull, but no movement of the skull. Most victims who suffer this type of broken bone only face a short hospitalization, although complications can arise.
Depressed Skull Fractures
The key feature of this type of fracture is that the skull is depressed into the brain. Frequently, surgical intervention is required to repair the damage, decrease pressure on the brain and to prevent any further brain injury.
Diastatic Skull Fractures
These are unique types of skull fractures that are more common among newborns and older infants. Diatastic skull fractures are breaks along the lines where the skull bones have fused together, and can be very serious.
Basilar Skull Fractures
Basilar skull fractures are the most serious type of fracture. A basilar skull fracture involves a break at the base of the skull and can result in severe complications, such as a tear in the covering of the brain. In a basilar skull fracture, fluids may drain from the nose or ears. Hospitalization is absolutely necessary.
All Cases Handled on a Contingency Basis
In personal injury cases involving skull fractures, you will only be asked to pay attorney fees if we are successful in getting you compensation for your injuries.
