San Francisco Depressed Skull Fracture Brain Injury Attorney
A depressed skull fracture occurs when a portion of the skull is pushed through the protective layers protecting the brain, known medically as the dura. While the skull bone itself can result in significant brain damage, the major medical problems are typically associated with infection of the brain, causing encephalitis, or swelling of the brain. If not treated immediately and properly, the encephalitis and infection can be fatal or lead to permanent brain damage.
