Brain injury, or Traumatic brain injury, can be life-altering and also life-threatening. It occurs when the brain is injured often as a result of an auto wreck. If the trauma causes damage to the skull itself, such as a crack or break, the injury is considered a penetrating head injury. More difficult to diagnose are closed head injuries, in which the brain is injured but the skull remains undamaged. This can happen due to an an impact, or from severe back-and-forth shaking, such as whiplash. Such events can take place in: car and truck accidents, fall downs or on the job injuries.
