Open and Closed TBI Injuries in Florida
The two most common types of TBI are open- and closed-brain injuries. An open-brain injury occurs when the skull is punctured by a foreign object. Gunshots and certain auto accidents are often the culprits of open-brain injuries.
Closed-brain injury is a type of brain injury that occurs when the head sustains some type of trauma to the exterior which directly damages the internal tissue. These typically arise from falls, collisions, and other blunt-force trauma.
Other types of brain injury include birth-related injuries and chemical exposures.
Surgery and Medical Treatment for Florida TBI
Victims of Florida TBI often find themselves the center of complex and specialized medical care. TBI requires many different types of medical workers to assess the components of an injury:
- Emergency medical workers

Although this medical care can be time-consuming and expensive, it is necessary to give victims the best hope of recovery and stability.
