Things You Should Know About Brain Injury Lawsuit

Brain injuries are a result of a violent blow to the head or penetration of an object into the skull. Your brain cells are affected temporarily if you survive. Bruising, torn tissues, bleeding and other physical damage can be caused by severe traumatic brain injuries.

The most common causes of brain injuries are –

• Slip and fall injuries
• Vehicle collisions
• Physical violence
• Sports related injuries and resulting illnesses
• Blasts and other traumatic injuries

These common injuries can result in severe psychological and physical illnesses in life as a direct or indirect result of that traumatic brain injury (TBI).

In 2014, there were approximately 2.87 million TBI-EDHDs in the United States, including over 837,000 occurring among children. This includes:

• Approximately 2.53 million TBI-related ED visits, including over 812,00 occurring among children.
• Approximately 288,000 TBI-related hospitalizations, including over 23,000 occurring among children.
