What Are the Most Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries?

The three most common traumatic brain injury circumstances that we see include traumatic brain injuries as a result of car accidents, falls or slipping on a premise on a business’s property and hitting your head, and another significant cause of head injuries is falls that exist in long-term care facilities such as nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Typically, when there’s a traumatic brain injury, it involves some force coming in contact with the head of the patient or the plaintiff, and that force can be varied. It can be slight in the case of an elderly person, or it can be significant in the case of a younger person who could maybe withstand more force. But very often, in traumatic brain injury circumstances, the plaintiffs do not know that their brain has been injured until they start to feel different afterwards. Maybe the initial scan doesn’t show a bleed or anything that would require surgical repair, but when a force comes in contact with your brain and your brain is impacted, the consequences can be devastating, and they may not be as easily recognizable initially as they are in the coming days, weeks, and months.
