Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Lawyer and Attorney
Mechanism of Injury The brain is somewhat mobile within the spiny interior of the skull. Under normal circumstances the delicate brain is protected from contact with the spiny contours of the skull. This protective barrier is known as cerebrospinal fluid. It surrounds the brain, and under normal circumstances, cushions the brain from contact with its hard, spiny shell.
When the head is subjected to violent forces, such as those exerted in: automobile accidents; violent shaking or whiplash; forceful falls and blows; the brain may sustain permanent damage. Such damage results from the delicate brain being forcibly rotated and battered within the spiny skull, also known as, the brain vault. During such episodes brain tissue is ripped, torn, stretched, battered and bruised. Such battering is followed by bleeding, swelling and bruising of brain tissue. Sometimes the brain can recover from such insults without any apparent consequences. In other cases the resultant difficulties can last a lifetime.
