A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is usually the result of a sudden and violent blow to the head from an automobile accident injury, a fall, a job-related injury, a criminal assault or a sports-related injury.

Symptoms of a mild traumatic brain injury, also known as a concussion, may include a brief period of unconsciousness, headache, mild confusion and dizziness, blurred vision and some difficulty concentrating for a short time. However, symptoms of a severe traumatic brain injury include a persistent headache, nausea and vomiting, seizures, weakness of the extremities, loss of coordination, profound confusion and agitation and the inability to awaken.

A severe traumatic brain injury requires immediate emergency hospitalization and intensive care. The effects of a traumatic brain injury are physically and emotionally challenging and life-altering as well as life-threatening. Victims of a traumatic brain injury will require months and years of emotional, physical and financial support.
