Common Brain Injury Causes
Any blow to the head or incident that causes the head to move abruptly, such as severe shaking, has the potential to cause brain injury. Brain injuries can also occur as a result of a direct blow to the head. Some of the most common causes of brain injuries include:
- Car accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Work accidents
- More
The Hidden Consequences
Most people know that a brain injury may significantly impact mental faculties, communication, and behavior. What many people don't know is that the symptoms aren't always obvious. Oftentimes, those who sustain brain injuries don't recognize that the trauma may be at the root of their headaches, vision changes, memory problems, personality changes, or depression – especially in cases where such symptoms develop over time. In some cases, these symptoms never go away.
Moreover, the treatment brain injury victims often require can be extremely expensive. Experts estimate that over the course of a lifetime, a serious brain injury will typically cost between $600,000 and $1,875,000 to treat.
