How Traumatic Brain Injuries Happen
A traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. This can happen due to a blow to the head, a violent jolt, or an object penetrating the skull. TBIs are categorized as mild, moderate, or severe, with symptoms ranging from brief unconsciousness and headaches to prolonged comas and permanent cognitive deficits. Even a mild TBI, commonly referred to as a concussion, can lead to long-term complications and significantly impact a person’s quality of life.
The causes of TBIs are varied, but some of the most common include:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents are leading causes of traumatic brain injuries. The force of a collision can result in a TBI even if the victim was wearing a seatbelt or helmet.
- Falls: Falls, particularly among older adults and young children, are a frequent cause of TBIs. Slips, trips, and falls can occur in a variety of settings, from sidewalks to shopping malls, office buildings, apartment complexes and public spaces.
- Sports and Recreational Activities: Athletes, particularly those involved in contact sports such as football, boxing, and soccer, are at heightened risk of suffering TBIs due to repeated blows to the head. Failure to provide safety equipment, training and supervision can result in TBIs that could otherwise be avoided.
- Workplace Accidents: Employees in construction, manufacturing, and other industries that involve hazardous conditions may be at risk of sustaining TBIs due to falls, falling objects, or machinery accidents.
- Assaults: TBIs can also result from violent assaults, including domestic violence, muggings, and other criminal attacks. When assaults occur due to negligent security on the premises, property owners may bear some measure of responsibility for the attack.
The Impact of a Traumatic Brain Injury
The consequences of a traumatic brain injury can be extensive and long-lasting. Victims may experience physical symptoms such as chronic headaches, dizziness, and seizures, as well as cognitive impairments, including memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and impaired decision-making. Emotional and psychological effects, such as depression, anxiety, and mood swings, are also common. In severe cases, a TBI can lead to permanent disability, requiring lifelong care and assistance.
These wide-ranging effects can place a significant financial burden on victims and their families. Medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and the need for ongoing care can quickly become overwhelming. Additionally, victims may be unable to return to work or may need to seek alternative employment, resulting in lost income and financial instability.
