Types of Brain Injuries
A brain injury can happen to anyone at any time. It does not matter how old or how young they are, how rich or how poor they are, no matter where in the world they live. Brain injuries are generally classified into two types, traumatic brain injury or non-traumatic brain injury.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) TBIs occur because of an external force. The injury can occur
because of an impact or because of something penetrating the skull.This can be a blow to the
head during an altercation, a car accident, a slip and fall accident, a work accident, or a gunshot
wound, to name just a few of the scenarios where a TBI might occur.
Non-Traumatic Brain Injury A non-traumatic brain injury can be caused because of a person’s
own internal health complications such as seizures tumors, infection, or pulmonary conditions that cause strokes or blood clots. A non-traumatic brain injury can also be the result of things that happen to a person such as oxygen deprivation, exposure to poisonous substances, or during medical procedures or surgeries (medical malpractice).
Both TBIs and non-traumatic brain injuries can be serious and debilitating, and in some cases they result in death.
