Among the most severe types of bodily injuries are those caused to the brain. Brain injuries may be the result of serious accidents such as vehicular accidents (car accidents, truck or motorcycle accidents), construction accidents, boating or jet ski accidents, or from the use of defective products. Regardless of the cause, brain injury victims can receive representation by a Los Angeles personal injury attorney. They can help you file a personal injury lawsuit against the parties liable for your injury.
There are two types of brain injuries: 1) traumatic brain injuries and 2) acquired brain injuries. These injuries occur in different ways, though both can gravely affect a person’s mobility, mental abilities, actions and sensory perception.
1. Traumatic Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury is usually sustained through a debilitating action, such as a direct blow to the head. Such a force can cause the brain to move or cause damage to the soft brain tissue. The following causes can result in traumatic brain injuries:
- Car crashes
- Falls
- Sports
- Firearms
- Physical violence
2. Acquired Brain Injury
Acquired brain injuries usually occur after birth but are not hereditary, degenerative or congenital. They occur on a cellular level, so when a certain area in the brain is affect, the other cells in the brain are likewise affected. Some of the most common causes of this type of brain injury are:
- Airway obstruction

- Injuries in which the chest has been crushed
- Electrical shock
