Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden jolt, blow, or impact causes the brain to move rapidly within the skull. This movement can result in chemical changes, bruising, or damage to brain tissue. Even mild trauma—known as a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI)—can lead to lasting effects, sometimes without immediate signs such as loss of consciousness.
Common Causes of TBI
TBI can happen in many everyday situations, including:
- Rideshare Accidents – Sudden impact from Uber or Lyft collisions, especially rear-end crashes, can cause the brain to jolt violently.
- Slip and Fall Accidents – Striking the head on the ground during a fall can lead to significant brain trauma.
- Sports Injuries – Contact sports like football, boxing, and rugby are common causes of concussion and TBI.
- Motorcycle Accidents – Especially in Connecticut, where helmets aren’t required for all riders, these crashes can be devastating.
- Pedestrian Accidents – Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer TBIs due to direct impact.
- Product-Related Injuries – Falling merchandise or faulty safety equipment (like airbags) can cause head trauma.
- Birth Injuries – Trauma during delivery can result in infant brain injuries with lifelong consequences.
Why TBI Cases Are Complex
Brain injuries are often called “invisible injuries” because their symptoms may be subtle, delayed, or misdiagnosed. TBIs can affect memory, mood, concentration, and even personality. Because of the complexity of these cases—especially when involving multiple parties, such as in rideshare accidents—it’s critical to have a legal team that understands both the medical and legal challenges involved.

In Preston, Connecticut, the rural roadways frame everyday life and, for injured patients, the crucial minutes after impact. On Route 2 where farm drives meet faster traffic and at the shaded Poquetanuck Village Green where children and machinery sometimes share sightlines, a slow-moving tractor or a farm trailer struck at the wrong angle can produce the diffuse brain injuries that change families’ routines.
On narrow shoulders like Preston Plains Road, poor sightlines, loose gravel and midday transfer of hay wagons create the blunt and rotational forces—concussions, contusions, penetrating skull injuries—that emergency responders document. I speak with EMTs who describe farm equipment rollovers and ATV collisions where helmets weren’t present and debris complicates on-scene stabilization before any ambulance can begin a long rural run.
When serious head trauma requires hospital-level neurosurgical evaluation, local crews route patients to William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich for acute imaging and observation; when operative care is needed or specialized neurocritical monitoring is unavailable, interfacility transfer to centers like UConn Health becomes the next step. Those transfers, by ground or air, are shaped by visibility, seasonal fields and the time it takes to reach an I-95 corridor.
Rehabilitation patterns in Preston often reflect the same distances: outpatient therapy trips that weave from farm lanes to clinic parking lots, caregivers juggling long drives and staggered appointments. Local speech and physical therapy options are limited, so families I talk with often travel to regional programs beyond town, coordinating transport logistics, adaptive equipment and school or workplace reintegration one practical step at a time.
