Causes of Brain Injury

Brain injury can result from accidents, negligence or another party's recklessness. Common causes of traumatic brain injury can include (but aren't limited to):

• assault, which can include domestic violence and child abuse (About 11 percent of brain injuries result from violence.)
• being struck by an object
• falling
• motor vehicle accidents (Roughly 20 percent of traumatic brain injuries are caused by motor vehicle accidents.)
• sports or recreation activities (Experts estimate that each year up to 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries occur as a result of recreational activities.)
• workplace accidents

Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury

Head and brain injuries can range from being mild, moderate or severe. In the worst cases of traumatic brain injury, individuals will likely have post-traumatic amnesia and/or lose consciousness immediately after the event that caused the injury.

Other symptoms of traumatic brain injury may include (but aren't limited to):

• blurry vision
• changes in sleeping patterns
• difficulty concentration and/or thinking
• dizziness and/or confusion
• headache
• impaired coordination and/or balancing
• lightheadedness
• lethargy and/or fatigue
• loss of motor skills
• memory problems
• mood changes
• nausea and/or vomiting
• ringing in the ears

It's important to note that the precise symptoms an individual experiences will depend on the:

• area of the brain injured
• severity of the injury
• individual's medical history (i.e. if the injured person has experienced other head injuries)
