Common Causes of Brain Injury

Brain injuries may be caused by a variety of different factors. Some of the more common causes are listed below:

Car Accidents: a car collision may drive a person's head into the steering wheel or dashboard. Usually, the more forceful the accident, the greater the damage is to the head.

Slip and Fall: accidents that involve falling down stairs, slipping on an unstable surface often cause the head to incur injury. This is especially true for older adults and small children who have trouble keeping their balance.

Violence: if a person strikes another person with an object or shoots the individual with a gun, traumatic brain injury may ensue. Some people injure their children by shaking them too violently, called shaken baby syndrome.

Sports Injuries: many types of sports put persons at risk of head injury, including soccer, football, skateboarding, hockey, and other high-impact activities. Sports injuries cannot generally be compensated for unless extreme negligence occurred.
