Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers in Schaumburg

Most traumatic brain injuries are caused by a blow to the head or a violent movement of the head. However, a TBI can also be caused by an object that enters the brain, such as debris from a motor vehicle accident, a piece of the skull, or a bullet. Brain injuries range in severity from fairly mild to instantly fatal. For example, concussions are considered low-level traumatic brain injuries. While most concussions are not life-threatening, such injuries can cause a wide range of concerns for those who suffer them. A more severe TBI can lead to a coma or death.

Any accident has the potential to cause a brain injury, but car, truck, and motorcycle accidents are to blame for almost half of all TBI cases in the U.S. every year. Pedestrian and bicycle accidents also present a serious danger of TBI. Traumatic brain injuries are common in falls, as well, including slip and fall accidents and falls from heights. The risk of brain injury due to a fall is especially high for the very young and the elderly.
