The top causes of traumatic brain injuries in this country are auto accidents and slip and fall accidents, and many brain injuries are the result of another party’s negligence or even medical malpractice.

Types of Brain Injuries
The traumatic brain injury lawyers at our firm have worked with a number of victims who suffered a brain injury because of someone else’s negligence or actions. Brain injuries are classified according to the specific part of the brain or head that suffered trauma.
The following is a list of some of the more common types of brain injuries our lawyers are familiar with:
- Concussions: A concussion occurs after a blow to the head, and can cause bleeding or nerve damage when the brain is violently pushed against the skull.
- Contusions: A contusion is bruising on the brain that is the result of an impact.
- Diffuse axonal injuries: These injuries are mostly caused by car accidents and falls, and they are the result of the brain moving around in the skull. Roughly 90% of victims of this type of traumatic brain injury remain unconscious, while the remaining 10% are severely impaired.
- Coup-Contrecoup: This type of brain injury causes damage to two areas of the brain: the side where the initial injury or impact occurred and the opposite side.
- Recurrent traumatic brain injuries: These traumatic brain injuries are common amongst athletes and they arise when a brain injury is sustained before a prior brain injury has healed. These injuries could cause ocular (eye) and respiratory failure, among other issues.
