Brain Injury Lawyer Miami, FL
A traumatic brain injury can leave you or a loved one dealing with the repercussions of your injury for some time. A traumatic brain injury is one that is often caused by head trauma, lack of oxygen to the brain, or violent movement of the skull. They occur often as a result of falls, construction accidents, car accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice and slip and fall incidences.
What Are the Most Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury?
Traumatic injuries can occur in a plethora of ways. They do not always include a skull fracture or open wound and do not always involve the victim going unconscious. Here are the most common causes of traumatic brain injury:

Traumatic brain injuries are not the only type of brain injury that can occur. Non-traumatic brain injuries, sometimes called acquired brain injuries are the result of a condition within the body.
