What is TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)?
A brain injury refers to brain “dysfunctions” caused by an outside force, such as whiplash or a blow to the head.
Traumatic brain injuries are commonly associated with car crashes, slip and falls, or contact sports. ‘G’s’, a measurement that relates to both velocity, force, and shock absorbency, are used to measure that ‘outside force’. A car accelerating and striking a stationary wall at 35 mph can generate 50 G’s. While that same impact may not necessitate a brain injury, damage to brain tissue is likely to occur in a high-impact collision.
While vehicle safety features continue to incorporate new ways to decrease the impact of an accident, a car accident can still quickly lead to devastating damages.

What Are the Common Causes of TBI?
What are the causes of a traumatic brain injury and what situations can commonly result in a TBI? We’ll take a look at a select few:
1. Motor Vehicle Accidents
As we mentioned above, car crashes are a leading cause of brain injuries. Among adults 65 and younger, car accidents are the #1 leading cause of TBI. If you’ve been involved in a motor vehicle accident, learn how Taylor King Law can help you HERE.
2. Falls
Falls account for nearly half of all hospitalizations. They’re the leading cause of brain injuries among adults 65 and older.
3. Sport Injuries
Head injuries in sports can result in a traumatic brain injury. In fact, sports result in a whopping 21% of traumatic brain injuries among teens and children.
4. Assault
An estimated 10% of traumatic brain injuries are the result of assault. This can include physical altercations, child abuse, domestic violence, or sexual assault. If you’ve been the victim of an assault, civil charges are a separate avenue from criminal charges for you to pursue justice. Learn more HERE how criminal and civil charges differ and how Taylor King Law can help.
5. Blast Injuries or Gunshot Wounds
Explosions or blasts, in addition to gunshots, can result in either penetrating or non-penetrating brain injuries. We’ll discuss the differences between the two further.
What Are the Different Kinds of Traumatic Brain Injuries?
There are primarily two different kinds of TBI, penetrating and non-penetrating:
Penetrating
Penetrating TBI, otherwise known as Open TBI, occurs when an object penetrates the skull and enters the brain tissue. Most commonly associated with Penetrating TBI are bullets, shrapnel, or bone fragments.
Non-Penetrating
Non-penetrating TBI, or Closed TBI, happens when the brain is damaged by an indirect impact, meaning a foreign object does not penetrate the brain. This type of TBI is more commonly associated with MVAs, falls, and sports injuries.

How Much Is My TBI Case Worth?

Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury
Brain injuries, unfortunately, are difficult to detect. Symptoms often wait to reveal themselves, sometimes even years later. Plus, the spectrum of symptoms associated with TBI is broad.
Symptoms of TBI range from loss of consciousness to spells of dizziness and consistent headaches. Sleep difficulties including oversleeping or not being able to fall asleep are common, as well.
