From mild concussions to severe brain damage, TBIs come in varying degrees of intensity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1304\">Unlike other injuries, the effects of a TBI may develop unexpectedly, sometimes long after the injury itself.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1306\" data-end=\"1332\">Common Causes of TBIs:<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"1333\" data-end=\"1459\">\n<li data-start=\"1333\" data-end=\"1363\">Car and motorcycle accidents<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1408\">Falls from heights or on slippery surfaces<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1409\" data-end=\"1430\">Workplace incidents<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1448\">Sports injuries<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1449\" data-end=\"1459\">Assaults<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1573\">Regardless of the cause, TBIs can lead to lifelong challenges that affect every aspect of a person\u2019s daily life.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1607\">Cognitive and Memory Problems<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1609\" data-end=\"1739\">One of the most frustrating effects of a TBI is cognitive impairment.
