Traumatic Brain Injuries or Closed-Head Injuries

There need not be a penetration of the skull or loss of consciousness for a person to suffer a TBI. TBI can occur either when there has been a blow to the head or there have been very fast acceleration and deceleration forces to a person’s head, sufficient to cause injury to the tissues of the brain and/or the tissues surrounding the brain.

Serious injuries can occur when property owners do not do the common sense things necessary to protect their guests and customers from unreasonable risk.
