Common Causes of TBIs

What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury occurs when the brain sustains a jolt, blow, or penetrating wound that disrupts normal brain function. TBIs range in severity from mild concussions to debilitating brain damage that can lead to lifelong disability or death. Immediate medical care and legal support are critical after such an injury.

Common Accidents That Cause TBIs in Boise

Understanding how traumatic brain injuries occur can help victims and their families recognize legal options. Below are some of the most frequent causes of TBIs we see in Boise personal injury cases:

1. Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car, motorcycle, and truck accidents are among the leading causes of TBIs in Idaho. Sudden impacts, head trauma, and rollovers can cause severe brain injuries even when seatbelts are worn. Our firm regularly represents victims of:

• Rear-end collisions

• Rollover crashes

• Motorcycle wrecks

• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents

2. Slip and Fall Accidents

Falls are a leading cause of brain injuries—especially among children and older adults. In Boise, slip and falls often happen in stores, apartment complexes, sidewalks, and other public spaces due to:

• Wet or uneven surfaces

• Poor lighting

• Lack of handrails

• Ice and snow during winter months

If a property owner fails to maintain safe conditions, they may be held liable under Idaho premises liability law.

3. Workplace Accidents

Construction workers, warehouse employees, and others in high-risk industries often suffer TBIs from falling objects, equipment failures, or falls from heights. If your TBI occurred on the job, you may be eligible for both workers’ compensation and a third-party injury claim.

4. Sports and Recreational Injuries

Boise’s active lifestyle—featuring hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and team sports—can sometimes lead to accidents. TBIs can result from contact sports, bike crashes, or inadequate safety measures at recreational facilities.

5. Assaults and Violence

While less common, TBIs can also result from acts of violence, including physical assault, domestic abuse, or shaken baby syndrome. Victims may have both criminal and civil legal remedies available.
