When a person experiences severe head injury or trauma to the head they may experience a contusion. A contusion is when brain tissue becomes swollen and bruised. Blood vessels may break, causing the blood to mix with the swollen tissue. A contrecoup is a type of contusion that results when the head is forcefully shaken and the brain comes into contact with the skull. This condition has been seen in cases of head trauma and Shaken Baby Syndrome. An individual who suffers from a contusion may also experience a diffuse axonal injury, which happens when certain nerves in the brain tissue are damaged. Injury to these axon nerves may cause the victim to fall into a vegetative state and can cause death.

Contusions and accompanying injuries are very serious and can be very difficult for the victim and the victim's family. No person wants their loved one to suffer in such a way. Along with the pain and emotional distress that the contusion victim will suffer, there will also be very expensive hospital and surgery bills.
