Traumatic Brain Injury
What is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Car and Truck Accidents
A sudden impact in a car or truck crash can cause the brain to collide with the inside of the skull, leading to a TBI. High-speed collisions, rollovers, or even rear-end accidents can all result in head injuries.
Falls
Slip and fall accidents, especially in dangerous environments like slippery floors, construction sites, or staircases, can cause a significant blow to the head and lead to a TBI.
Sports Injuries
Contact sports, such as football, soccer, or hockey, can lead to concussions and other brain injuries. Even non-contact sports, like cycling, can result in TBIs when a player falls or is involved in an accident.
Workplace Accidents
Falls from heights, heavy machinery accidents, or being struck by falling objects at work can cause serious TBIs.
Medical Malpractice
Errors in medical procedures, such as surgical mistakes or misdiagnosis, can lead to traumatic brain injuries. For example, brain injuries caused by anesthesia errors or surgical complications are possible.
Violence and Assault
Assaults, such as physical fights or violent crimes, can lead to head trauma and result in a TBI.
