This is a very new topic as Traumatic Brain Injuries are recently more popular. They have always existed, but more doctors are diagnosing patients with Traumatic Brain Injuries today. A TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) happens when the brain crashes against the skull. There are three severity types of a Traumatic Brain Injury ranging from mild, moderate, and severe.

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury – Disorientation, headaches, confusion, and memory loss can occur. These injuries are sometimes called concussions

Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury – Loss of consciousness that is longer than 20 minutes but no longer than 60 minutes. This involves brain swelling and bleeding. This is when there can be permanent brain damage.

Severe Traumatic Brain Injury – Loss of consciousness that lasts more than six hours. This is when patients get into a coma and cannot wake up.

Many of these injuries happen in sports or falls, but most of the time, a traumatic brain injury is caused by car accidents and motorcycle accidents.
