A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can result from an item piercing the skull and entering the brain, as well as from a strong bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body. A TBI is not always the consequence of strikes or jolts to the head.
Depending on the kind of TBI, there may be temporary or short-term issues with a person's ability to think, understand, move, communicate, and act. Serious and lasting disabilities, as well as death, can result from more severe TBI.
