What Are Some Common Causes of Brain Injuries?

Blunt force injuries to the head — like being struck by a falling object or hitting your head against the pavement after a motorcycle accident — are among the most obvious causes of brain injuries. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that more subtle events can also cause substantial damage to the brain. In fact, any type of movement that involves a sudden change of direction can cause a brain injury. These types of less obvious brain injury events can be difficult to quantify, and if you’re attempting to recover compensation for damages, they can be difficult to prove.

No two brain injuries are alike, and even people with similar injuries can experience vastly different symptoms. However, these symptoms are commonly associated with brain injuries: Balance problems Confusion or other cognitive issues Disruption of speech Headaches Amnesia Seizures Changes in personality or behavior Some injuries may last only days or weeks, but others can be permanent. And while many brain injuries are easily identifiable on diagnostic scans, others can be difficult to spot
