What are the main causes of head injury?
If you have suffered from a head injury due to an accident that was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation. A variety of factors can cause a head injury. Many accidents can cause head injuries, but some of the common ones we have experience with are: Motor vehicle accidents: Motor vehicle accidents, including car, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents, can result in head injuries. These injuries can be caused by a blow to the head or by the brain being jolted within the skull. Work-related accidents: Head injuries can occur in the workplace, particularly in industries such as construction and manufacturing. These injuries can be caused by falls, being struck by falling objects, or being caught in machinery. Falls: Falls are a leading cause of head injuries, particularly among children and older adults. Falls can occur on stairs, from heights, or on slippery or uneven surfaces. Sports injuries: Sports injuries, particularly contact sports such as football, rugby, and boxing, can result in head injuries. These injuries can occur from a blow to the head, a fall, or repeated impacts to the head. Assaults: Assaults, including physical violence and domestic abuse, can result in head injuries. These injuries can be caused by punches, kicks, or blows to the head with an object. Explosions: Explosions, including those caused by gas leaks, bombs, or fireworks, can result in head injuries. These injuries can be caused by the force of the blast or by flying debris.
