Brain Injuries

A traumatic brain injury is a severe injury to the head that results in serious and often irreversible damage to the brain. One blow to the head can push the brain against the skull and significantly alter its vital functions. Unlike other injuries, a brain injury may not present itself until several weeks after the accident.

Types of brain injuries include the following:

• Paralysis
• Loss of voluntary and involuntary motor functions
• Loss of reasoning abilities
• Loss of memory
• Sensory loss

Most traumatic brain injuries occur in motor vehicle accidents, especially motorcycle accidents where the rider is not wearing a helmet. They can also be the result of falls, diving and swimming accidents, or construction site accidents.
