Falls causing a brain injury are a leading cause in the U.S. They can take place anywhere, from a poorly maintained business location, a staircase without handrails, to a nursing home without adequate staffing.

Struck By/Against an Object

These types of accidents can happen, for example, while playing contact sports, in a workplace accident, or from a falling object.
