Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Brain damage is a very serious form of injury that can alter the entire course of people’s lives. Victims may experience permanent disabilities like cognitive impairment, paralysis, or the loss of vision, hearing, or other senses. Unfortunately, these injuries are alarmingly common, affecting over one million Americans every year.

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be caused in many different ways, most of them preventable by adherence to safety policies. If you or a member of your family has suffered a major injury caused by another party’s negligence, the New Jersey traumatic brain injury lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. can help you fight for justice. To learn more, call us at 1-800-346-5529.

Preventable Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries are often linked to negligent behaviors or even malicious attacks. The leading causes of trauma-inflicted brain injuries in the US include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents: These are the most common cause of TBI among adults, and one of the leading causes among children.
  • Falls: This broad category includes trip and fall accidents, structural collapses such as staircases or balconies, construction accidents, and so on.
  • Firearms: Whether caused by the accidental discharge of a gun, or an intentional attack, guns are frequently involved in major head injury cases.
  • Sports injuries: Accidents that occur during contact sports or competitive diving are common causes of TBI, especially among teenagers and children.
  • Violent attacks: Sadly, many head injuries are deliberately inflicted during fights, robberies, and other acts of violence.

If your life has been affected by a head injury due to another person’s poor decisions, our New Jersey head injury attorneys can provide valuable information about your rights and options.
