Traumatic Brain Injuries range widely in how they occur and how severely they impact the victim of the injury. The majority of TBIs are mild concussions which temporarily impact a person’s mental state or consciousness, according to the CDC. Severe TBIs will cause an extended period of unconsciousness, memory loss, and other forms of cognitive disability.

The leading causes of TBI, according to data gathered by the CDC, include:

• Falls;
• Unintentional Blunt Trauma;
• Motor Vehicle Crashes;
• Assaults; and
• Sports and Recreational Injuries.

Approximately 248,418 children under the age of 19 were treated for sports and recreation-related injuries that included TBI, according to 2009 data collected by the CDC. Car crashes are the third leading cause of TBI for all age groups, and are the second leading cause for TBI-related deaths.
