Traumatic brain injuries usually take place when a person is hit on the head or experiences a forceful jolt to their body. TBIs can also be caused by foreign objects entering the cranium, such as parts of a vehicle that strike a person in a car crash, bone fragments, or bullets. The severity of TBIs can vary drastically. Some may result in minor harm, while others may prove fatal. For instance, concussions are a form of mild traumatic brain injury. Though these types of injuries usually are not fatal, they can lead to short-term or long-term issues that may affect a victim's health and well-being. On the other hand, more severe TBIs may result in a long-term loss of consciousness, paralysis, other issues resulting in permanent disabilities, or even wrongful death.
