Brain Injury

Injuries to the brain are the most serious and severe due to the devastating affects that result. Traumatic brain injuries commonly lead to death and permanent disabilities ranging from paralysis to seizures. The extent of the impact on the brain will determine how serious the injury is and what can be done to sustain life if possible. The brain is highly sensitive in which minor swelling can potentially cut off the oxygen supply leading to devastating and life threatening affects.

Many brain injuries are a result of accidents from slipping and falling, sports participation, auto accidents, as well as birth injuries. The main issue in common with all of these types of injuries is direct impact to the brain. Brain injuries can lead to death, loss of limb and speech functions, seizures, vision, balance, and coordination issues, lack of motor skills, and death.

Brain injuries in the elderly most commonly come from slip and fall accidents that severely impacts the brain causing swelling and cuts off the oxygen and blood supply. The most common types of brain injuries from adolescents are auto accidents. Unsafe driving habits such as driving at high speeds, driving under the influence, and driving hazardously can all increase the likelihood of a serious auto accident to occur yielding brain injuries.
