Today’s blog is a continuation of yesterday’s blog: LOS ANGELES BRAIN DAMAGE LAWYER: CAUSES & SYMPTOMS. The most common causes of traumatic brain injury are transportation accidents, such as car crashes and motorcycle accidents, violence, and construction accidents. Motor vehicle accidents cause more than half of all traumatic brain injuries. These accidents include car wrecks, motorcycle crashes, and pedestrian accidents. The next most common cause of brain injury is violence, which is responsible for twenty percent of all injuries.. For people over the age of seventy five, falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries. In addition, traumatic brain injuries are very common in warzones due to explosions.
There are many symptoms associated with traumatic brain injury- some are evident immediately while other symptoms take weeks, months, and sometimes years to develop. In the case of mild traumatic brain injury, people will typically lose consciousness for a few seconds. Other symptoms that are associated with mild traumatic brain injury include but are not limited to headaches, dizziness, nausea and lack of balancing. In the case of a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury, symptoms include repeated vomiting, severe nausea, slurred speech, seizures, and lack of coordination.
