A brain injury occurs when a force strikes the head and causes direct physical damage to the brain. For example, head injuries are frequently the result of an auto accident in which the occupant's head strikes an object like a windshield at great force. Brain injury victims may lose their ability to remember, think clearly or control their emotions. The injuries could result in comas or permanent mental and physical impairment.

Types of brain injury accidents

The following is a list of some types of accidents that may result in traumatic brain injury:

Brain injuries generally involve open head injuries and closed head injuries. An open head injury typically involves the penetration of the skull. However, it is not necessary for the skull to fracture or break open for the brain to sustain a TBI. Trauma may occur during a closed head injury, which involves the penetration of the skull, but may involve a concussion. For more information, visit the following pages on our website:
