One serious type of injury that results from car accidents is a traumatic brain injury. This type of injury involves either a sudden force that causes the brain to shift out of its normal position or an object that piereces the brain tissue.

In both cases, the brain is severly injured and certain normal brain functions are disrupted. Common problems associated with traumatic brain injury include concussions, contusions, or other similar neurological problems. According to government statistics, traumatic brain injuries are sustained by 1.5 million Americans each year.
