What Types Of Accidents Cause Traumatic Brain Injuries?

Traumatic brain injuries often involve sudden blows or jolts to the head or a penetrating head injury.

Accidents that can cause traumatic brain injuries include:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, and pedestrian accidents are frequent causes of brain damage. The force of impact or sudden deceleration can cause the brain to collide with the inside of the skull, leading to injury.

Slip and Falls

Falls are a leading cause of traumatic brain injuries, especially among older adults and young children. Falling and striking the head on a hard surface or sustaining a whiplash injury can result in severe brain injuries. 

Sports Injuries

Playing contact sports, such as football, soccer, or hockey, can result in a traumatic injury due to collisions, tackles, falls, or blows to the head.

Workplace Accidents

Injuries sustained in construction accidents, industrial accidents, falls from heights, or being struck by falling objects can result in TBIs.

Penetrating Head Injuries

Sharp objects can penetrate the skull and cause traumatic brain injuries.

Recreational Accidents

Accidents that occur during recreational activities such as horseback riding, skateboarding, or diving into shallow water can result in traumatic brain injuries.

Medical Negligence

Traumatic brain injuries may occur due to medical negligence during procedures, surgeries, or medical treatments, resulting in oxygen deprivation, hemorrhage, or other complications affecting the brain.

Different Types Of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries can vary in severity and type, depending on the nature and extent of the injury.

Concussions

A concussion is the most common and mildest type of traumatic brain injury. This type of injury usually occurs due to a sudden blow or jolt to the head.

Contusion

A contusion is a bruise or bleeding on the brain’s surface resulting from direct impact or shaking of the head.

Coup-Contrecoup Injury

This type of brain injury involves contusions on both the side of the brain directly impacted by the force and the opposite side of the brain, where the brain rebounds and strikes the skull.

Diffuse Axonal Injury

A diffuse axonal injury can occur when the brain rapidly shifts inside the skull, causing widespread damage to nerve fibers.

Penetrating Injury

Penetrating injuries occur when a foreign object penetrates the skull and damages brain tissue.

Diffuse Traumatic Brain Injury

This type of brain injury involves widespread damage to brain tissue due to diffuse shearing and stretching of axons, blood vessels, and nerve fibers.

What Are the Symptoms of a TBI?

The symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can vary widely depending on the severity of the injury and the specific area of the brain affected.

Common types of brain injury symptoms include: 

  • Headache

  • Sensitivity to light or noise
  • Blurred vision

What Damages Is a TBI Victim Entitled to?

  • Medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Past and future medical care costs

  • Lost wages
