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 the open farm plots west of Windsor’s town center, Palisado Avenue runs by fields and the Connecticut River, and those wide sightlines can be deceptive. Farm tractors, loaded trailers, and slow-moving equipment create unique collision dynamics — runovers, overturns and head impacts that produce focal contusions, skull fractures, and diffuse axonal injury. Reporting from the roadside, the injuries I see are often low-speed but high-consequence.
When a neighbor calls 911 after a field rollover, Windsor Emergency Medical Services is often first on scene, facing narrow driveways and muddy approaches that slow extrication. Decisions about air versus ground transport hinge on time and weather; crews use I-91 as the main corridor when ground transfer to Hartford or a level-one center is faster than arranging an interfacility helicopter. Timely stabilization is critical.
Pediatric and adult patterns differ on farms and at school events near Windsor High School: adolescents on ATVs or helping with harvest are prone to diffuse brain injury from rollovers, while adults sustain focal injuries from machine strikes. After initial care many patients require inpatient rehabilitation at regional centers such as Hartford Hospital, followed by months of outpatient cognitive, vestibular and occupational therapy that often means longer commutes for families.
I take witness statements and hospital timelines seriously because recovery from traumatic brain injury in Windsor is rarely linear. Families contend with medical transport windows, interfacility transfer paperwork, and rehab scheduling while juggling work on nearby farms and riverfront businesses. Documenting equipment, time stamps, and EMS reports helps clinicians and investigators reconstruct events; my role is to report clearly, compassionately, and without sensationalism as neighbors recover.
