Brain injuries, often referred to as traumatic brain injuries or TBI, affect over 1.7 million Americans annually. Traumatic brain injuries can occur following a variety of accidents, including car accidents, slip and falls, and construction accidents. The impact does not need to be severe. A traumatic brain injury can occur due to a routine medical procedure gone awry, birth accident, or a simple fall. In addition, these serious injuries can lead to permanent disabilities, constant hospitalizations, and an inability to maintain employment, resulting in billions of dollars of medical expenses and financial losses each year.

Types of Brain Injuries
The most common type of brain injury is the concussion. While serious, most individuals are able to fully recover from concussions with no adverse side effects. Concussions are usually caused by impact or fall-related accidents.

A contusion is a bruise on the brain caused by impact or fall-related accidents. When the force of the accident causes the brain to move, capillaries can burst, creating a contusion. Contusions often result in splitting headaches, dizziness, confusion, memory loss, and drowsiness.

Intra-cranial pressure is a common side effect of brain injury that occurs when the brain swells as part of the healing process. Like how your face may swell if you are hit in the face, your brain also swells. However, your brain is confined within your skull, and your skull does not expand to make room for your swollen brain. Intra-cranial pressure can cause serious and long-lasting side effects and in some cases may be lethal.

Common Causes of Brain Injuries
