Southern California TBI Lawyers Traumatic Brain Injury AttorneysEvery 23 seconds, someone the United States sustains a traumatic brain injury (TBI). About 2 percent of Americans currently live with disabilities caused by TBIs and more than 50,000 die of TBIs annually. A traumatic brain injury occurs when an outside force causes the brain to move within the skull or if the force breaks the skull and directly hurts the brain. Car crashes, firearms, falls, sports, and physical violence can all cause this type of TBI, according to the Brain Injury Association of America. A rapid movement of the head can force the brain to move back and forth across the inside of the skull, damaging brain tissue. Auto accidents and physical violence, such as Shaken Baby Syndrome, can cause this type of TBI. An anoxic brain injury occurs when the brain doesn't receive the oxygen it needs to survive. Birth injuries can include anoxic brain injury.
