What Types of Accidents Most Often Lead to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Claims?

What types of accidents are most often leading to traumatic brain injuries? In Massachusetts, car accidents are the biggest culprit. The sudden deceleration and impact can cause the brain to hit the skull, even without direct head trauma. Falls are huge, too, especially on icy sidewalks, in stores, or at construction sites.

We see a lot of motorcycle accidents resulting in TBI, even with helmets on. Sports injuries, particularly in youth sports, are becoming more common claims. Workplace accidents, especially in construction or industrial settings, often involve falling objects. Sadly, physical assaults can cause severe TBI. Also, what’s the common thread? Well, any sudden impact or violent motion that causes the brain to move within the skull is going to cause a TBI.
