Common Causes of Concussions & Brain Injuries
Brain injuries occur when the head suffers a violent impact or jolt, causing damage to brain tissue. Some of the most common causes include:
Car Accidents – Sudden head trauma from impact, airbag deployment, or whiplash.
Motorcycle, Bicycle & Scooter Accidents – Lack of protection leaves riders vulnerable to head injuries.
Slip & Fall Accidents – Hard falls on slippery or uneven surfaces leading to head trauma.
Sports Injuries – Football, soccer, boxing, and other contact sports can cause concussions.
Workplace Accidents – Falling objects, slips, or falls from heights leading to head trauma.
Assault & Physical Violence – Blunt force trauma from punches, gunshot wounds, or abuse.
Defective Products – Faulty helmets, airbags, or other safety equipment failing to protect the head.
If another party’s negligence or wrongdoing caused your brain injury, Fairmont Law Firm will fight for the compensation you deserve.
Types of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries range from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI), including:
- Concussions – Temporary loss of brain function due to impact.
- Contusions – Brain bruising, often requiring surgery.
- Coup-Contrecoup Injuries – Damage on both sides of the brain due to forceful impact.
- Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) – Severe tearing of brain tissue, often causing coma or death.
- Penetrating Brain Injuries – When an object pierces the skull and damages brain tissue.
Even mild concussions can result in long-term cognitive and neurological issues, affecting speech, memory, and motor skills.
Symptoms of a Brain Injury
Brain injuries often have delayed symptoms, making early medical attention crucial. Signs of a concussion or TBI include:
- Severe headaches or migraines
- Dizziness, nausea, and vomiting
- Memory loss or confusion
- Slurred speech or difficulty concentrating
- Loss of consciousness (even briefly)
- Mood swings, depression, or personality changes
- Sensitivity to light and noise

If you or a loved one experiences these symptoms after an accident, seek medical attention immediately and contact Fairmont Law Firm to discuss your legal options.
Who Is Liable for a Brain Injury?
Brain injuries often involve complex liability issues, and multiple parties may be responsible, including:
- Negligent Drivers – If a car, motorcycle, or truck accident caused your TBI.
- Property Owners – If unsafe conditions led to a slip and fall accident.
- Employers & Worksites – If workplace negligence contributed to the injury.
- Sports Organizations & Schools – If a lack of safety measures led to head trauma.
