Injuries to the brain are very common. These injuries can be caused by car accidents, slipping and falling on an icy sidewalk, the impact of an object falling on your head, violence, child abuse, and sports injuries. When a person sustains an injury that involves severe trauma to the head they run the risk of having brain damage; a blow to the head, even if it seems minor at the time, can cause brain tissue to twist and tear, which can cause the tissues to bleed or bruise. Depending on what area of the brain is affected, brain injuries can cause permanent damage to a person’s memory, vision, or ability to speak. In severe cases it can even cause death.

Although not all people who sustain brain injuries have a personal injury case, many times an accident could have been prevented if another person had been more careful or had taken proper safety precaution. If that is the case, that person may be held liable.
