Attorney Tom Crosley discusses some of the most common causes of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in this video:

Leading causes of TBI include:

  • Falls (especially among the elderly and very young populations)
  • Motor vehicle crashes (especially in the teenage and young adult populations)
  • Being struck by an object
  • Assault

Together, these four event types cause more than 80 percent of all known TBI cases based on emergency room admission data collected in the U.S.
