As members of the Indiana Brain Injury Association, we know it is extremely important to have your brain injury assessed by a medical professional who is skilled at evaluating brain injuries. Even if your doctor says your CAT scan or MRI looks good, you still may have disabilities related to your brain injury. Sometimes only psychological testing by a neuropsychologist will reveal the full extent of your injury.

A traumatic brain injury is a type of closed head injury caused by a severe impact to the head. Leading causes of TBIs are motor vehicle crashes, including car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents , falls, sports injuries, and violence. People who survive brain injuries can suffer from cognitive, behavioral, and emotional complications. Many require long term care planning.

Anoxic brain injuries occur when the flow of oxygen to the brain is interrupted. Strokes, near-drowning incidents, medical mistakes, and birth injuries are among the causes of anoxic brain injuries.

Brain injuries can cause devastating disabilities, including paralysis and coma. Brain injuries can also cause changes in personality, irritability, movement disorders, mental confusion, and a host of other symptoms.

The effects of severe brain injuries can include significant cognitive impairment, paralysis, coma, and death. Even mild brain damage can cause major disruption in a person’s thinking, memory, and personality.

Birth injuries can include both traumatic and anoxic brain injuries. The infant may develop cerebral palsy (CP) or Erb palsy (commonly misspelled: Erb’s palsy) due to a brain injury sustained at birth. These birth injuries require a lifetime of care.
