Types and Common Causes of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can fall into one of two main categories: traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acquired brain injury (ABI). The causes for each of these are different, but each one results in brain dysfunction that can affect your quality of life.
A traumatic brain injury is usually the result of physical trauma by an external force. This can include:
Slip and fall accidents
Depending on how and why your slip and fall happened, the property owner may bear fault for a resulting brain injury.
Physical assault
A violent assault can result in significant injuries, even when a weapon isn’t involved. A hard blow to the head can cause a brain injury.
Sports injuries
Contact sports can lead to concussions and other types of head and brain injuries.
Motor vehicle accidents
Traumatic brain injuries are some of the most commonly reported injuries from accidents. Your auto insurance may provide some initial relief after a serious crash, but you may need to press forward with further legal action against the at-fault driver when your damages exceed what insurance can cover.
Workplace accidents
Most Florida employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If your brain injury happened at work, you should consult an experienced attorney as quickly as possible to help you navigate the claim process.
An acquired brain injury is typically caused at the cellular level, resulting in a lack of oxygen to the brain or pressure and swelling. The causes can include:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Brain aneurysms
- Substance abuse
- Brain tumors
- Certain illnesses
- Poisoning
- Asphyxiation
Potential Long-Term Implications & Treatment Options for Brain Injuries
There are severe consequences that can stem from a brain injury. Depending on its severity, it can also lead to death. Should someone survive the incident, pervasive health issues can surface. Some of these long-term cognitive problems can include attention deficits, personality changes, mood swings, difficulty thinking, abnormal speech or loss of language, and many other issues. For some, it can also lead to more significant consequences, such as loss of movement and functioning of limbs or a comatose state.
As far as treatment options are concerned, this varies based on the severity of the injury. However, it can include prescribed ways to manage the pain, accompanied by management and monitoring of the symptoms. It can also involve rehabilitative care that aids in restoring proper functions for your daily life.
