How Traumatic Brain Injuries Occur
Slip and fall accidents are the most common cause of brain injuries. For the elderly requiring the assistance of a nursing home, nursing home abuse and neglect can result in a loved one sustaining a brain injury due to a fall.
Other common causes of brain injuries include:
- Violence
- Automobile accidents, which account for 20% of all TBI's
- Head trauma
- Oxygen deprivation
Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries
There are three classifications of brain injuries
- Closed brain injury – When the brain hits the skull due to the head being struck or jerked
- Open brain injury – When the brain is punctured by an object that pierces the skull
- Oxygen deprivation – When the brain is either partially starved of all oxygen (hypoxia) or completely lacks oxygen (anoxia), resulting in the death of brain cells
Disabilities Caused by Traumatic Brain Injuries
The injuries and disabilities sustained due to a traumatic brain injury vary from case to case. Both the severity and location of the injury impact the potential disabilities you may develop. Common disabilities associated with traumatic brain injuries include:
- Damage to the nervous system
- Memory loss
- Decreased mental capacity and cognitive ability
- Inability to effectively communicate
