What are the leading causes of TBIs?
It’s important for us to talk about traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, in California.
You might be wondering, "What are the main culprits behind these injuries?"
Well, let's break it down for you.
In California, there are four primary causes of TBIs that we see most often:
Falls: This is the number one cause.
Whether it's slipping on a wet floor, tumbling downstairs, or losing balance, falls can happen to anyone, at any age.
Motor vehicle accidents: Car crashes, motorcycle accidents, and even bicycle collisions can lead to TBIs.
That's why we always stress the importance of wearing seatbelts and helmets!
Sports-related injuries: California's got a huge sports culture.
But sometimes, the game can get a little too rough.
Concussions from contact sports like football, soccer, or even skateboarding are more common than you might think.
Violence or assault: Unfortunately, physical altercations can also result in TBIs.
This includes any form of violence, from fights to more serious assaults.
Remember, awareness is key to prevention.
By understanding these common causes, we can all take steps to protect ourselves and our loved ones from traumatic brain injuries.
