Thousands of people suffer traumatic brain injuries every year. A traumatic brain injury occurs when the brain is injured by a sudden force or trauma. A traumatic brain injury can cause physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioural effects. Brain injuries can be classified as either open or closed. An open brain injury refers to a traumatic brain injury caused by a skull fracture. A closed brain injury is caused when a blow or other outside force causes the brain to move within the skull. These brain injuries can be caused by motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, assaults, motorcycle accidents, boating accidents, and others.
