Brain Injuries, Causes & Consequences

Auto accidents are the most common cause of brain injury in the U.S. In individuals over the age of 65, the leading cause of brain injury are slip and fall accidents. A less common but no less devastating cause of brain injury is medical malpractice. Examples of medical malpractice include misdiagnosis or oxygen deprivation during a procedure.

Whatever the cause, the consequences of a brain injury are often severe and many times permanent. Consequences of brain injury may include:

  • Headaches
  • Vision problems
  • Loss of memory
  • Depression

In addition to these physical and emotional consequences, brain injury victims also frequently suffer tremendous financial losses. Experts estimate that a serious brain injury can cost between $600,000 and $2,000,000 or more to treat over a lifetime.
