Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury (also known as ‘acquired brain injury’) is damage to the brain that is caused after birth, often as a result of impact accidents such as car collisions. It is caused when the head is struck hard and the brain slams against the skull which can cause bruising and swelling muscle tissue tearing. This may lead to permanent damage and impairment to the brain.
