What Are Common Causes Of Traumatic Brain Injuries?

Over the years, the traumatic brain injury lawyers at Parker Waichman LLP have handled many cases that involved the following types of accidents:

Auto AccidentsA significant number of TBIs are caused due to motor vehicle collisions. Many of these accidents could have been prevented. Often, this type of car accident is caused by driver negligence, whether it’s distracted driving, driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, speeding, or reckless driving.
FallsA slip and fall accident can result in minor injuries, such as a sprain or soft tissue damage. But in other cases, a fall can result in a traumatic brain injury. When a fall is caused by dangerous and hazardous conditions on someone else’s property, the negligent property owner or manager can be held liable for the accident victim’s damages.
Sports and Recreational ActivitiesTBIs are common in contact sports, with football and boxing making up a large percentage of traumatic brain injury victims. Recreational activities such as riding a bike or skateboarding can also result in a life-changing traumatic brain injury.
Violence or AssaultActs of violence can also result in a traumatic brain injury. An assault can cause serious bleeding in the brain, leading to permanent damage or even death.

Types Of Traumatic Brain Injuries

TBIs can come in a variety of forms, including:

ClosedA closed brain injury is the most common type of TBI. A closed injury occurs when an external force causes damage to the skull but doesn’t penetrate it.
PenetratingA penetrating brain injury occurs when a foreign object penetrates the skull, causing damage to the brain. Without proper and immediate medical treatment, a penetrating brain injury can lead to death or a life-threatening infection.
Diffuse AxonalDiffuse axonal injuries occur when the areas of the brain that control cognitive functions sustain damage, resulting in problems processing information, concentrating, and communicating.
PrimaryPrimary brain injuries occur suddenly, at the time of impact, immediately affecting brain function. Auto accidents, bike accidents, and falls are common causes of primary brain injuries.
SecondaryA secondary brain injury can happen over time, over days, hours, or several minutes, following the initial injury.
