Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a type of brain injury that results from an outside force, such as a blow or jolt to the head. The brain damage that results from a TBI can range from mild to severe and may be temporary or permanent. Common types of TBIs include concussions, contusions, and diffuse axonal injury (DAI).

Treatment for a TBI depends on the severity of the injury. Because brain injuries can be difficult to detect, especially at first, it is highly recommended that you visit a doctor if you believe that you may have suffered any kind of head injury. When it comes to a TBI, it is far better to be safe than sorry.

Identifying Causes & Symptoms of TBI

Any outside force that affects one’s head can cause a traumatic brain injury. Such head trauma can include a blow to the head, an object penetrating the brain, and a sudden jolt.

The leading causes of TBIs are:

• Falls
• Being struck by or against an object
• Traffic accidents
• Assault

Even if your head hasn’t bumped against anything or been penetrated by an object, you can still suffer from a TBI. Whiplash, which is caused by the rapid back and forth movement of the neck and often occurs during car accidents, is a major cause of TBI. This is because when whiplash occurs, the brain moves back and forth inside the skull and may become bruised.

Common symptoms of traumatic brain injuries include:

• Confusion and disorientation
• Difficulty sleeping
• Dizziness
• Headaches
• Insomnia
• Loss of concentration
• Loss of consciousness, however brief
• Nausea or vomiting
• Short-term or long-term memory loss
• Speech or hearing impediments
• Temporary or permanent loss of intellectual capacity
• Changes in personality and temperament (especially becoming more withdrawn or hostile)

We have handled many brain injury cases, achieving many excellent results for clients with all levels of impairment.
