What is a Brain Injury?

A brain injury involves any damage – mild, moderate or traumatic - to the scalp, skull or brain. Mild or moderate brain injuries include bumps, bruises, or cuts to the head. More serious injuries, also known as Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are usually brought on by concussions, deep cuts, open wounds, skull fractures and internal bleeding. If left untreated, these injuries can result in permanent brain damage and/or death.

Causes of Brain Injury

Occurring in both children and adults, brain injury can result from slip and falls, whiplash injuries and blows to the head. The number one cause of a brain injury is motor vehicle accidents which can be suffered by drivers, passengers and pedestrians. The effects can be life changing for both you and your entire family.

Effects of Brain Injury

The effects of a brain injury may not be immediate. In fact, victims may not exhibit obvious symptoms even though they are suffering from memory loss or having difficulty with concentration, speech and temperament. As such, early medical treatment is highly recommended. Upon medical examination, the extent of the injury can be identified and an appropriate course of treatment can be undertaken to help maximize recovery.
