What Is Blunt Force Trauma?

Blunt force trauma describes physical injuries sustained when a foreign object strikes some part of the body, typically the head.

As a non-penetrating injury, blunt force trauma does not break the skin or present visible wounds. That can make it:

  • Mild to severe in nature, with more forceful impacts causing more severe trauma
  • Far more challenging to recognize and diagnose

What Causes Blunt Force Trauma?

Accidents and assaults are the two most common causes of blunt for trauma. 

Motorist Negligence & Auto Accidents

  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • 18-wheeler accidents
  • Falls, including slip and falls
  • Falling objects or merchandise
  • Equipment or machinery accidents
  • Work accidents
  • Explosions
Tragically, blunt force trauma is often the result of preventable accidents. Figuring out the underlying causes of those accidents is the key to:
  • Determining the legal options and available remedies
  • Identifying the liable party or parties
  • Figuring out whether victims have a claim
The blunt force trauma lawyers at Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers are highly skilled at investigating accidents and determining who’s liable. We can give you answers about your legal options during a free, confidential, no-obligation consultation.

What Injuries Are Caused by Blunt Force Trauma?

Blunt force trauma to the head can cause a range of injuries, the most serious of which include (but are not limited to):
  • Skull fractures
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Brain hemorrhaging
  • Brain contusions (bruising)
  • Hematomas (blood clots)
  • Death

If victims survive their injuries, they can be left with devastating disabilities, crippling medical bills, and profound impacts to their quality of life.

In many cases, those with the most serious blunt force trauma head injuries require intensive medical care for the rest of their lives.

When Can Blunt Force Trauma Victims Sue for Damages?

Trauma survivors may have the rights to sue for compensation when:
  • >
    The trauma they suffered was caused by some type of negligence.
  • >
    The event that caused their trauma occurred within the past 1 to 2 years (depending on whether an individual is in Louisiana or Texas, respectively).
  • >
    The victim is not the party who’s primarily responsible for causing the trauma.

When blunt force trauma claims are successful, they can result in damages for losses like:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages, benefits, and bonuses
  • Lost earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium
These recoveries can be pivotal to helping victims pick up the pieces and focus on healing. And the team at Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers are skilled at securing these recoveries in all types of blunt force trauma cases.
