Internal damage may include bruising, mild to severe concussions, or brain bleeds that could result in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Severe head and brain injuries may cause long-term disability, the need for full-time medical care, and sometimes even death.

Indiana Workers Compensation Law - Injured Worker Rights
