There are many types of accidents that can cause brain injuries. Some of the most common incidents include:
Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents: accidents involving vehicles and/or pedestrians are one of the most common reasons people develop a TBI
Falls: falling down stairs, ladders, or from a place of some height frequently leads to a traumatic brain injury
Sports injuries: after vehicle-related accidents, sports injuries are one of the most common ways that people develop a TBI
Violence: individuals involved in domestic, sexual, and other types of violence can develop a traumatic brain injury
Combat injuries: military zones and hazardous work sites can also lead to a traumatic brain injury
These are just a few of the reasons why you may develop a TBI. There are other additional causes that could still make you eligible for compensation. Speak to a TBI attorney to see if you may be eligible for an award.
