Traumatic Brain Injuries
A Traumatic Brain Injury, also known as TBI, occurs when an external force injures the brain. TBI can result in physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral symptoms, and the outcome of a TBI can range from complete recovery to permanent disability or death. The head itself may be struck by an object causing a closed or open head injury or a sudden impact to the body could cause a brain injury if the brain collides with the skull.
Traumatic brain injuries are often associated with motorcycle accidents, especially if the rider was thrown from the bike. Depending on how hard the head was hit and whether or not the skull itself was grazed during the injury, the brain may suffer various damages from swelling, bruising, or an actual puncture. Keep in mind that these injuries may still transpire when the rider is wearing a safety helmet. An injury this serious could range from a minor concussion to life-changing disabilities such as:
- Memory Loss
- Loss of Cognitive Skills
- Changes in Personality
- Coma
- Death
