What is TBI?

A TBI is a brain injury sustained from a significant and traumatic force exerted against the head. In many cases, TBI victims suffer a direct blow to the head. It also is common for TBIs to arise in accidents in which a person’s head strikes a hard object, like a car window or dashboard. TBIs can also result from penetrating injuries to the skull, like bullet wounds.

TBIs are classified as minor, moderate, or severe based on several tests, such as the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). The scale measures a victim’s motor respond (one through six points), verbal response (one through five points), and visual response (one through four points). The higher the points the better.

A concussion is a score of 13 to 15 points. A moderate TBI is a score between nine and 12 points. A severe TBI is a score between three and eight. A score of less than three is a vegetative state.

Medical experts play a crucial role in brain injury cases.
