Common causes of TBI

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a disruption in the normal functioning of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury. It can cause death in many of its victims. Victims should know that they can pursue a legal claim if they fall victim to this deadly injury to be compensated for their suffering and medical costs. If you or a loved one has sustained a TBI from a car accident, contact 844 See Mike for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

TBIs from a car accident are caused by some type of blow to the head or body. Many times, they are caused by vehicle-related collisions. Most commonly, they occur when a collision causes you to strike your head on something else, such as the steering wheel or windshield. Also, it can come on from whiplash or being ejected from a vehicle and suffering from a sudden and hard impact on the pavement.

These events can cause an open head injury where the damage is localized to a certain area of the brain and protective layers have been penetrated. A closed head injury would occur due to a blow to the person’s head or having the brain violently shift within the skull. This shift can cause brain contusions (bruising), brain hemorrhaging (bleeding), or damage to the nervous system and nerve cells. They are both extremely serious and possibly deadly injuries that require immediate medical attention. Brain hemorrhaging, for instance, can have deadly effects if it is not treated within the first few hours and it can cause death in 12-24 hours in serious cases.
