About Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when the head suffers serious impact or a sudden motion that results in serious injury to the brain. In these situations, the brain may become bruised, may swell or may even bleed. Depending on the incident, a traumatic brain injury may result from closed head trauma or a penetrating head injury, and may affect only a small portion of the brain or may be widespread. The primary causes of TBI are auto accidents (including motorcycle accidents), falls, and violence.

Although safety helmets have progressed in terms of the protection they provide in the event of an accident, even a rider wearing a helmet may sustain brain injury in some cases. Additionally, Florida law does not require riders over the age of 21 to wear helmets when driving a motorcycle. The rider must, however, have an insurance policy of at least $10,000 to cover any injuries that may be sustained in an accident.
