What is a TBI?


The Brain Injury Association of America defines TBI as an alteration in brain function, or other evidence of brain pathology, caused by an external force. More specifically, TBI is a brain dysfunction usually caused by a violent blow to the head or jolt to the body.

According to the Centers for Disease and Control Injury Prevention Center (CDC), the leading causes of traumatic brain injury are falls at about 40%, unknown or other at 19%, motor vehicle at nearly 15%, struck by or against at almost 16% and assault at 10%. Although the percentages do change, falls still remain the number one cause of TBI.

Emergency personnel typically determine the severity of a brain injury by using an assessment called the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). The terms Mild Brain Injury, Moderate Brain Injury, and Severe Brain Injury are used to describe the level of initial injury in relation to the neurological severity caused to the brain.

It’s important to keep in mind that there is nothing “Mild” about a brain injury. The term “Mild” Brain injury is used to describe a level of neurological injury. Any injury to the brain is a real and serious medical condition.

What do I do if I have TBI?


If you have a suspected brain injury, you should contact a physician immediately, go to the emergency room, or call 911 in the case of an emergency. The bottom line is that you should not hesitate to seek medical attention even if the symptoms disappear after a few hours after an incident.

We also encourage you to contact a qualified brain injury attorney to learn about your rights and to receive the professional legal expertise you need in order to win your case.

TBI Statistics


The CDC also reported the following but it’s important to keep in mind that these statistics represent estimates of outcomes resulting from TBI each year.

Brain injury can result in:

  • 52,000 deaths;
  • 280,000 are hospitalized; and
  • 2.2 million are treated and released from an emergency department.
Among children ages 0 to 14 years, TBI results in an estimated

  • 2,685 deaths;
  • 37,000 hospitalizations; and
  • 435,000 emergency department visits.
*The number of people with TBI who are not seen in an emergency department or who receive no care could not be accounted for.
